This work aims to shed light on the performance of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks for hydrogen purification from coke oven gases (COG). Using molecular simulation, we model COG as a mixture six and study effect ZIF topology separation performance. To do this, compare similar structures, e.g., ZIF-8 ZIF-11, focus obtaining information that explains why they behave differently while being so sim...

Bacteria are difficult to be eliminated because of their multi-drug resistance, which brings significant threats public health. Among the antibacterial methods, mechanobactericidal surfaces provide a possible approach solving this problem. In study, generally used mechanical sterilization is developed by fabricating nanostructured coating. The functional coating simply fabricated growing zeolit...

Abstract Poly (m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) membranes are prepared via evaporating part solvent of the casting solution before its nonsolvent-induced phase separation. Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is added into PMIA as an inorganic filler to improve filtration capability membrane. The structure composite characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Zeta-potential analyz...

ZIF-4, a metal-organic framework (MOF) with a zeolitic structure, undergoes a crystal-amorphous transition on heating to 300 degrees C. The amorphous form, which we term a-ZIF, is recoverable to ambient conditions or may be converted to a dense crystalline phase of the same composition by heating to 400 degrees C. Neutron and x-ray total scattering data collected during the amorphization proces...

Zn1?xCdxS catalysts with Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) as the precursor were successfully prepared by ion exchange method, and ability electrochemical properties of a series ZIF-8, ZnS in photocatalytic degradation 2-CP TC investigated. Doping Cd ions was able to modulate band gap width improve utilization visible light photocatalyst. The nanocage hollow structure have better respons...

Herein, we present the first examples of solvent-assisted linker exchange (SALE) in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). By exposing the ZIF CdIF-4 to excess solutions of 2-nitroimidazole and 2methylimidazole under solvothermal conditions, we were able to obtain a previously reported ZIF CdIF-9 in high yield, as well as synthesize a new ZIF, Solvent-Assisted Linker-Exchanged Material-1 (SALE...

We have recently identified by cDNA cloning a set of genes that are rapidly activated in mouse 3T3 cells by serum or purified growth factors. Here we report that the cDNA (clone 268) derived from one of these immediate early genes (zif/268) encodes a protein with three tandem "zinc finger" sequences typical of a class of eukaryotic transcription factors. The mRNA of zif/268 is present in many o...

Toluene was discovered as the structure template for the synthesis of large-cage RHO-type zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-11 and ZIF-12) in an alcohol-based solution where benzimidazole-toluene interactions play a decisive structure-directing role; otherwise it leads to small-cage SOD-type ZIF-7 and ZIF-9 without toluene. The specific π-π interactions make toluene molecules adopt a specifi...
