Abstract
Thin-films of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have widespread potential applications, especially with the emergence of glass-forming MOFs, which remove the inherent issue of grain boundaries and allow coherent amorphous films to be produced. Herein, it is established that atomic layer deposition (ALD) of zinc oxide lends excellent control over the thickness and localization of resultant polycrystalline and glass zeolitic imidazole framework-62 (ZIF-62) thin-films within tubular α-alumina supports. Through the reduction of the chamber pressure and dose times during zinc oxide deposition, the resultant ZIF-62 films are reduced from 38 µm to 16 µm, while the presence of sporadic ZIF-62 (previously forming as far as 280 µm into the support) is prevented. Furthermore, the glass transformation shows a secondary reduction in film thickness from 16 to 2 µm.

Abstract
Hybrid glasses derived from meltable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) promise to combine the intriguing properties of MOFs with the universal processing ability of glasses. However, the shaping of hybrid glasses in their liquid state - in analogy to conventional glass processing - has been elusive thus far. Here, we present optical-quality glasses derived from the zeolitic imidazole framework ZIF-62 in the form of cm-scale objects. These allow for in-depth studies of optical transparency and refraction across the ultraviolet to near-infrared spectral range. Fundamental viscosity data are reported using a ball penetration technique, and subsequently employed to demonstrate the fabrication of micro-optical devices by thermal imprinting. Using 3D-printed fused silica templates, we show that concave as well as convex lens structures can be obtained at high precision by remelting the glass without trading-off on material quality. This enables multifunctional micro-optical devices combining the gas uptake and permeation ability of MOFs with the optical functionality of glass. As an example, we demonstrate the reversible change of optical refraction upon the incorporation of volatile guest molecules.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses have emerged as a new class of organic-inorganic hybrid glass materials. Considerable efforts have been devoted to unraveling the macroscopic dynamics of MOF glasses by studying their rheological behavior; however, their microscopic dynamics remain unclear. In this work, we studied the effect of vitrification on linker dynamics in ZIF-62 by solid-state 2H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. 2H NMR relaxation analysis provided a detailed picture of the mobility of the ZIF-62 linkers, including local restricted librations and a large-amplitude twist; these details were verified by molecular dynamics. A comparison of ZIF-62 crystals and glasses revealed that vitrification does not drastically affect the fast individual flipping motions with large-amplitude twists, whereas it facilitates slow cooperative large-amplitude twist motions with a decrease in the activation barrier. These observations support the findings of previous studies, indicating that glassy ZIF-62 retains permanent porosity and that short-range disorder exists in the alignment of ligands because of distortion of the coordination angle.

Abstract
The phenomenon of melting in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has recently garnered attention. Crystalline MOF materials can be transformed into an amorphous glassy state through melt-quenching treatment. The resulting MOF glass structure eliminates grain boundaries and retains short-range order while exhibiting long-range disorder. Based on these properties, it emerges as a promising candidate for high-performance separation membranes. MOF glass membranes exhibit permanent and accessible porosity, allowing for selective adsorption of different gas species. This review summarizes the melting mechanism of MOFs and explores the impact of ligands and metal ions on glassy MOFs. Additionally, it presents an analysis of the diverse classes of MOF glass composites, outlining their structures and properties, which are conducive to gas adsorption and separation. The absence of inter-crystalline defects in the structures, coupled with their distinctive mechanical properties, renders them highly promising for industrial gas separation applications. Furthermore, this review provides a summary of recent research on MOF glass composite membranes for gas adsorption and separation. It also addresses the challenges associated with membrane production and suggests future research directions.

Abstract
Water is one of the most reactive and abundant molecules on Earth, and it is thus crucial to understand its reactivity with various material families. One of the big unknown questions is how water in liquid and vapor forms impact the fast-emerging class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, we discover that high-pressure water vapor drastically modifies the structure and hence the dynamic, thermodynamic, and mechanical properties of MOF glasses. In detail, we find that an archetypical MOF (ZIF-62) is extremely sensitive to heat treatments performed at 460 °C and water vapor pressures up to ∼110 bar. Both the melting and glass transition temperatures decrease remarkably (by >100 °C), and simultaneously, hardness and Young's modulus increase by up to 100% under very mild treatment conditions (<20 bar of hydrothermal pressure). Structural analyses suggest water to partially coordinate to Zn in the form of a hydroxide ion by replacing a bridging imidazolate-based linker. The work provides insight into the role of hot-compressed water in influencing the structure and properties of MOF glasses and opens a new route for systematically changing the thermodynamics and kinetics of MOF liquids and thus altering the thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting MOF glasses.

Abstract
Here, we report the synthesis of BCN-93, a meltable, functionalized, and permanently porous metal-organic polyhedron (MOP) and its subsequent transformation into amorphous or crystalline, shaped, self-standing, transparent porous films via melting and subsequent cooling. The synthesis entails the outer functionalization of a MOP with meltable polymer chains: in our model case, we functionalized a Rh(II)-based cuboctahedral MOP with poly(ethylene glycol). Finally, we demonstrate that once melted, BCN-93 can serve as a porous matrix into which other materials or molecules can be dispersed to form mixed-matrix composites. To illustrate this, we combined BCN-93 with one of various additives (either two MOF crystals, a porous cage, or a linear polymer) to generate a series of mixed-matrix films, each of which exhibited greater CO2 uptake relative to the parent film.

Abstract
Polymers are promising candidates as solid-state electrolytes due to their performance and processability, but fillers play a critical role in adjusting the polymer network structure and electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Most fillers studied so far are anisotropic, limiting the possibility of homogeneous ion transport. Here, applying metal-organic framework (MOF) glass as an isotropic functional filler, solid-state polyethylene oxide (PEO) electrolytes are prepared. Calorimetric and diffusion kinetics tests show that the MOF glass addition reduces the glass transition temperature of the polymer phase, improving the mobility of the polymer chains, and thereby facilitating lithium (Li) ion transport. By also incorporating the lithium salt and ionic liquid (IL), Li-Li symmetric cell tests of the PEO-lithium salt-MOF glass-IL electrolyte reveal low overpotential, indicating low interfacial impedance. Simulations show that the isotropic structure of the MOF glass facilitates the wettability of the IL by enhancing interfacial interactions, leading to a less confined IL structure that promotes Li-ion mobility. Finally, the obtained electrolyte is used to construct Li-lithium iron phosphate full batteries that feature high cycle stability and rate capability. This work therefore demonstrates how an isotropic functional filler can be used to enhance the electrochemical performance of solid-state polymer electrolytes.

Abstract
Porous metal-organic frameworks have emerged to resolve important challenges of our modern society, such as CO2 sequestration. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can undergo a glass transition to form ZIF glasses; they combine the liquid handling of classical glasses with the tremendous potential for gas separation applications of ZIFs. Using millimetre-sized ZIF-62 single crystals and centimetre-sized ZIF-62 glass, we demonstrate the scalability and processability of our materials. Further, following the evolution of gas penetration into ZIF crystals and ZIF glasses by infrared microimaging techniques, we determine the diffusion coefficients and changes to the pore architecture on the ångström scale. The evolution of the material on melting and processing is observed in situ on different length scales by using a microscope-coupled heating stage and analysed microstructurally by transmission electron microscopy. Pore collapse during glass processing is further tracked by changes in the volume and density of the glasses. Mass spectrometry was utilized to investigate the crystal-to-glass transition and thermal-processing ability. The controllable tuning of the pore diameter in ZIF glass may enable liquid-processable ZIF glass membranes for challenging gas separations.

Abstract
Lithium-ion and post-lithium-ion batteries are important components for building sustainable energy systems. They usually consist of a cathode, an anode, an electrolyte, and a separator. Recently, the use of solid-state materials as electrolytes has received extensive attention. The solid-state electrolyte materials (as well as the electrode materials) have traditionally been overwhelmingly crystalline materials, but amorphous (disordered) materials are gradually emerging as important alternatives because they can increase the number of ion storage sites and diffusion channels, enhance solid-state ion diffusion, tolerate more severe volume changes, and improve reaction activity. To develop superior amorphous battery materials, researchers have conducted a variety of experiments and theoretical simulations. This review highlights the recent advances in using amorphous materials (AMs) for fabricating lithium-ion and post-lithium-ion batteries, focusing on the correlation between material structure and properties (e.g., electrochemical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal ones). We review both the conventional and the emerging characterization methods for analyzing AMs and present the roles of disorder in influencing the performances of various batteries such as those based on lithium, sodium, potassium, and zinc. Finally, we describe the challenges and perspectives for commercializing rechargeable AMs-based batteries.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a subclass of reticular structures based on tetrahedral four-connected networks of zeolites and minerals. They are composed of transition-metal ions and imidazolate-type linkers, and their pore size and shape, surface area, and functionality can be precisely controlled. Despite their potential, two questions remain unanswered: how to synthesize more diverse ZIF structures and how ZIFs differentiate from other crystalline solids. In other words, how can we use our understanding of their unique structures to better design and synthesize ZIFs? In this Review, we first summarize the methods for synthesizing a wide range of ZIFs. We then review the crystal structure of ZIFs and describe the relationship between their structure and properties using an in-depth analysis. We also discuss several important and intrinsic features that make ZIFs stand out from MOFs and discrete molecular cages. Finally, we outline the future direction for this class of porous crystals.

Abstract
Oxide glasses are an elementary group of materials in modern society, but brittleness limits their wider usability at room temperature. As an exception to the rule, amorphous aluminum oxide (a-Al2 O3 ) is a rare diatomic glassy material exhibiting significant nanoscale plasticity at room temperature. Here, it is shown experimentally that the room temperature plasticity of a-Al2 O3 extends to the microscale and high strain rates using in situ micropillar compression. All tested a-Al2 O3 micropillars deform without fracture at up to 50% strain via a combined mechanism of viscous creep and shear band slip propagation. Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations align with the main experimental observations and verify the plasticity mechanism at the atomic scale. The experimental strain rates reach magnitudes typical for impact loading scenarios, such as hammer forging, with strain rates up to the order of 1 000 s-1 , and the total a-Al2 O3 sample volume exhibiting significant low-temperature plasticity without fracture is expanded by 5 orders of magnitude from previous observations. The discovery is consistent with the theoretical prediction that the plasticity observed in a-Al2 O3 can extend to macroscopic bulk scale and suggests that amorphous oxides show significant potential to be used as light, high-strength, and damage-tolerant engineering materials.

Abstract
Aqueous stability is a critical property for the application of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials in humid conditions. The sampling of the free energy surface for a water reaction is challenging due to a lack of a reactive force field. Here, we developed a ReaxFF force field for simulating the reaction of zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) with water. We carried out metadynamics simulations based on ReaxFF to study the reaction of water with a few different types of MOFs. We also conducted an experimental water immersion test and characterized the XRD, TG, and gas adsorption properties of the MOFs before and after the immersion test. By considering the energy barrier for a hydrolysis reaction, the simulation results are in good agreement with the experiments. MOFs with open structures and large pores are found to be unstable in metadynamics simulations, where the water molecule can attack or bond with the metallic node relatively easily. In contrast, it is more difficult for water to attack the Zn atom in the ZnN4 tetrahedral structure of ZIFs. We also found that ZIFs with the -NO2 functional groups have higher water stability. Discrepancies between the metadynamics simulation and gas adsorption experiments have been accounted for from the phase/crystallinity change of the structure reflected in the X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry analysis of the MOF samples.

Abstract
The melting phenomenon in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been recognised as one of the fourth generation MOF paradigm behaviours. Molten MOFs have high processibility for producing mechanically robust glassy MOF macrostructures, and they also offer highly tunable interfacial characteristics when combined with other types of functional materials, such as crystalline MOFs, inorganic glass and metal halide perovskites. As a result, MOF glass composites have emerged as a family of functional materials with dynamic properties and hierarchical structural control. These nanocomposites allow for sophisticated materials science studies as well as the fabrication of next-generation separation, catalysis, optical, and biomedical devices. Here, we review the approaches for designing, fabricating, and characterising MOF glass composites. We determine the key application opportunities enabled by these composites and explore the remaining hurdles, such as improving thermal and chemical compatibility, regulating interfacial properties, and scalability.

Abstract
Traditional metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively studied and applied in various fields across chemistry, biology and engineering in the past decades. Recently, a family of emerging MOF liquids and glasses have gained ever-growing research interests owing to their fascinating phase transitions and unique functions. To date, a growing number of MOF crystals have been found to be capable of transforming into liquid and glassy states under external stimuli, which overcomes the limitations of MOF crystals by introducing functional disorder in a controlled manner and offering some desirable properties. This review is dedicated to compiling recent advances in the fundamental understanding of the phase and structure evolution during crystal melting and glass formation in order to give insights into the underlying conversion mechanism. Benefiting from the disordered metal-ligand arrangement and free grain boundaries, various functional properties of liquid and glassy MOFs including porosity, ionic conductivity, and optical/mechanical properties are summarized and evaluated in detail, accompanied by the structure-property correlation. At the same time, their potential applications are further assessed from a developmental perspective according to their unique functions. Finally, we summarize the current progress in the development of liquid/glassy MOFs and point out the serious challenges as well as the potential solutions. This work provides perspectives on the functional applications of liquid/glassy MOFs and highlights the future research directions for the advancement of MOF liquids and glasses.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses, a new type of melt-quenched glass, show great promise to deal with the alleviation of greenhouse effects, energy storage and conversion. However, the mechanical behavior of MOF glasses, which is of critical importance given the need for long-term stability, is not well understood. Using both micro- and nanoscale loadings, we find that pillars of a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) glass have a compressive strength falling within the theoretical strength limit of ≥E/10, a value which is thought to be unreachable in amorphous materials. Pillars with a diameter larger than 500 nm exhibited brittle failure with deformation mechanisms including shear bands and nearly vertical cracks, while pillars with a diameter below 500 nm could carry large plastic strains of ≥20% in a ductile manner with enhanced strength. We report this room-temperature brittle-to-ductile transition in ZIF-62 glass for the first time and demonstrate that theoretical strength and large ductility can be simultaneously achieved in ZIF-62 glass at the nanoscale. Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations have identified that microstructural densification and atomistic rearrangement, i.e., breaking and reconnection of inter-atomistic bonds, were responsible for the exceptional ductility. The insights gained from this study provide a way to manufacture ultra-strong and ductile MOF glasses and may facilitate their processing toward real-world applications.

Abstract
Understanding of the complex mechanical behavior of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) beyond their elastic limit will allow the design of real-world applications in chemical engineering, optoelectronics, energy conversion apparatus, and sensing devices. Through in situ compression of micropillars, the uniaxial stress-strain curves of a copper paddlewheel MOF (HKUST-1) were determined along two unique crystallographic directions, namely the (100) and (111) facets. We show strongly anisotropic elastic response where the ratio of the Young's moduli are E(111) ≈ 3.6 × E(100), followed by extensive plastic flows. Likewise, the yield strengths are considerably different, in which Y(111) ≈ 2 × Y(100) because of the underlying framework anisotropy. We measure the fracture toughness using micropillar splitting. While in situ tests revealed differential cracking behavior, the resultant toughness values of the two facets are comparable, yielding Kc ~ 0.5 MPa[Formula: see text]. This work provides insights of porous framework ductility at the micron scale under compression and failure by bonds breakage.

Abstract
Chemical diversification of hybrid organic-inorganic glasses remains limited, especially compared to traditional oxide glasses, for which property tuning is possible through addition of weakly bonded modifier cations. In this work, it is shown that water can depolymerize polyhedra with labile metal-ligand bonds in a cobalt-based coordination network, yielding a series of nonstoichiometric glasses. Calorimetric, spectroscopic, and simulation studies demonstrate that the added water molecules promote the breakage of network bonds and coordination number changes, leading to lower melting and glass transition temperatures. These structural changes modify the physical and chemical properties of the melt-quenched glass, with strong parallels to the "modifier" concept in oxides. It is shown that this approach also applies to other transition metal-based coordination networks, and it will thus enable diversification of hybrid glass chemistry, including nonstoichiometric glass compositions, tuning of properties, and a significant rise in the number of glass-forming hybrid systems by allowing them to melt before thermal decomposition.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)/coordination polymers are promising materials for gas separation, fuel storage, catalysis, and biopharmaceuticals. However, most applied research on MOFs is limited to these functional materials thus far. This study focuses on the potential of MOFs as structural adhesives. A sintering technique is applied to a zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) gel that enables the joining of Cu substrates, resulting in a shear strength of over 30 MPa, which is comparable to that of conventional structural adhesives. Additionally, systematic experiments are performed to evaluate the effects of temperature and pressure on adhesion, indicating that the removal of excess 2-methylimidazole and the by-product (acetic acid) from the sintered material by vaporization results in a microstructure composed of large spherical ZIF-67 crystals that are densely aggregated, which is essential for achieving a high shear strength.

Abstract
Metal organic framework (MOF) glasses are a coordination network of metal nodes and organic ligands as an undercooled frozen-in liquid, and have therefore broadened the potential of MOF materials in the fundamental research and application scenarios. On the road to deploying MOF glasses as electrocatalysts, it remains several basic scientific hurdles although MOF glasses not only inherit the structural merits of MOFs but also endow with active catalytic features including concentrated defects, metal centers and disorder structure etc. The research on the ionic conductivity, catalytic stability and reactivity of MOF glasses has yielded scientific insights towards its electrocatalytic applications. Here, we first comb the history, definition and basic properties of MOF glasses. Then, we identify the main synthetic methods and characterization techniques. Finally, we advance the potentials and challenges of MOF glasses as electrocatalysts in furthering the understanding of these themes.

Abstract
AbstractMetal-organic framework (MOF) glasses are a new class of glass materials with immense potential for applications ranging from gas separation to optics and solid electrolytes. Due to the inherent difficulty to determine the atomistic structure of amorphous glasses, the intrinsic structural porosity of MOF glasses is only poorly understood. Here, we investigate the porosity features (pore size and pore limiting diameter) of a series of prototypical MOF glass formers from the family of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) and their corresponding glasses. CO2 sorption at 195 K allows quantifying the microporosity of these materials in their crystalline and glassy states, also providing excess to the micropore volume and the apparent density of the ZIF glasses. Additional hydrocarbon sorption data together with X-ray total scattering experiments prove that the porosity features of the ZIF glasses depend on the types of organic linkers. This allows formulating design principles for a targeted tuning of the intrinsic microporosity of MOF glasses. These principles are counterintuitive and contrary to those established for crystalline MOFs but show similarities to strategies previously developed for porous polymers.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are archetypes of microporous coordination polymers/metal–organic frameworks whose versatile composition allows for diverse functionalities. However, developments in PBAs have centred solely on their crystalline state, and the glassy state of PBAs has not been explored. Here we describe the preparation of the glassy state of PBAs via a mechanically induced crystal-to-glass transformation and explore their properties. The preservation of short-range metal–ligand–metal connectivity is confirmed, enabling the framework-based functionality and semiconductivity in the glass. The transformation also generates unconventional CN− vacancies, followed by the reduction of metal sites. This leads to significant porosity enhancement in recrystallised PBA, enabled by further accessibility of isolated micropores. Finally, mechanical stability under stress for successful vitrification is correlated to defect contents and interstitial water. Our results demonstrate how mechanochemistry provides opportunities to explore glassy states of molecular framework materials in which the stable liquid state is absent. Developments in Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have centred solely on their crystalline state. Here, the authors describe the preparation of the glassy state of PBAs via a mechanically induced crystal-to-glass transformation and explore their properties.

Abstract
In recent years, the study of the glassy structure of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) has been a key breakthrough in glass science. Yet the theoretical understanding of the structure of these complex materials is still in its infancy, especially the short-range structure. The short-structural disorder of two ZIFs and their corresponding molten structure, namely, ZIF-4 and ZIF-62 are studied, using ab initio simulations. Changes in short-range order are investigated, particularly the changes in bond length, bond angle, and tetrahedral unit volume. Furthermore, the asymmetric distribution of organic groups caused by the benzimidazole functional group leads to the difference in short-range disorder between ZIF-4 and ZIF-62 glasses, which contribute to the glass-forming ability difference. The ZIFs melting processes were studied by ab initio molecular dynamics simulation Changes in short-range order (SRO) of molten ZIFs are investigated Revealing the asymmetric distribution of bIm groups leads to the difference in SRO The SRO of ZIFs can be used to compare the amorphous formation abilities

Abstract
Glasses are materials that lack a crystalline microstructure and long-range atomic order. Instead, they feature heterogeneity and disorder on superstructural scales, which have profound consequences for their elastic response, material strength, fracture toughness, and the characteristics of dynamic fracture. These structure-property relations present a rich field of study in fundamental glass physics and are also becoming increasingly important in the design of modern materials with improved mechanical performance. A first step in this direction involves glass-like materials that retain optical transparency and the haptics of classical glass products, while overcoming the limitations of brittleness. Among these, novel types of oxide glasses, hybrid glasses, phase-separated glasses, and bioinspired glass-polymer composites hold significant promise. Such materials are designed from the bottom-up, building on structure-property relations, modeling of stresses and strains at relevant length scales, and machine learning predictions. Their fabrication requires a more scientifically driven approach to materials design and processing, building on the physics of structural disorder and its consequences for structural rearrangements, defect initiation, and dynamic fracture in response to mechanical load. In this article, a perspective is provided on this highly interdisciplinary field of research in terms of its most recent challenges and opportunities.

Abstract
We synthesized two series of bimetallic (zinc and cobalt) zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-62) under different solvothermal conditions. It is found that the structure of the derived ZIF crystals is highly sensitive to synthesis conditions. One series possesses the standard ZIF-62 structure, whereas the other has a mixed structure composed of both the standard structure and an unknown one. The standard series exhibits a slight negative deviation from linearity of melting temperature (T m) and glass transition temperature (T g) with the substitution of Co for Zn. In contrast, the new series displays a stronger negative deviation. These negative deviations from linearity indicate the mixed metal node effect in bimetallic ZIF-62 due to the structural mismatch between Co2+ and Zn2+ and to the difference in their electronic configurations. The new series involves both cobalt-rich and zinc-rich phases, whereas the standard one shows one homogeneous phase. Density functional theory calculations predict that the substitution of Co for Zn increases the bulk modulus of the ZIF crystals. This work indicates that the structure, melting behaviour, and mechanical properties of ZIFs can be tuned by metal node substitution and by varying the synthetic conditions. Both series of ZIFs have higher glass forming abilities due to their higher T g/T m ratios (0.77-0.84) compared to most good glass formers.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) have attracted a considerable amount of attention for use in environmental applications (e.g., pollutant adsorption and photocatalysis in water treatments). The environmental stability and toxicity of ZIFs are key prerequisites for their practical applications, but information about these factors is largely lacking. The present work finds that pristine ZIFs (ZIF-8 and ZIF-67) photodegrade from frame structures into two-dimensional nanosheets and are oxidized to zinc carbonate (ZIF-8) and Co3O4 (ZIF-67) under visible-light irradiation. The photoinduced electrons, holes and free radicals promote dissolution of the metal cores and organic ligands, leading to collapse of the frame structure. The photodegradation of ZIF-8 alleviates developmental inhibition, oxidative stress, plasmolysis, and photosynthetic toxicity, while the photodegradation of ZIF-67 aggravates nanotoxicity. The integration of metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis reveals that unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis and metal ion-binding transcription contribute to the altered toxicity of ZIF photodegradation. These findings highlight the roles of photodegradation in structural transformation and alteration of the toxicity of ZIFs, alarming the study of pristine metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Abstract
The structure of the melt state of one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer crystal Cu(isopropylimidazolate) (melting temperature Tm = 143 °C) was characterized by DSC, variable temperature PXRD, solid-state NMR (SSNMR), viscoelastic measurements, XAS, and DFT-AIMD calculations. These analyses suggested “coordination polymer-forming liquid” formation with preserved coordination bonds above Tm. Variable chain configurations and moderate cohesive interaction in adjacent chains are the keys to the rarely observed polymer-forming liquid. The melt structure is reminiscent of the common 1D organic polymer melts such as entanglement or random coil structures. The melt state of coordination polymer crystals is composed of macromolecular-chain assemblies without coordination bond breaking. The coordination-polymer-forming liquid provides various morphologies, including spun fibers.![]()

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses provide new perspectives on many material properties due to their unique chemical and structural nature. Their mechanical properties are of particular interest because glasses are inherently brittle, which limits their applications as structural materials. Here we perform strain-rate-dependent uniaxial micropillar compression experiments on agZIF-62, agZIF-UC-5, and agTIF-4, a series of MOF glasses with different substituting linker molecules, and find that these glasses show substantial plasticity, at least on the micrometer scale. At a quasi-static strain rate of 0.001 s-1, the micropillars yielded at approximately 0.32 GPa and subsequently deformed plastically up to 35% strain, irrespective of the type of substituting linker. With increasing strain rate, the yield strength of agZIF-62 evolved with the strain-rate sensitivity m = 0.024 to reach a yield strength of 0.44 GPa at a strain rate of 510 s-1. On the basis of this relatively low strain-rate sensitivity and the absence of serrated flow, we conclude that structural densification is the predominant mechanism that accommodates such extensive plasticity.

Abstract
Water pollution from synthetic dyes is a growing environmental concern because many dyes have carcinogenic effects on humans and aquatic life. Adsorption is a widely used technology for the separation and removal of dyes from wastewater. However, the dye removal process using conventional adsorbents is not sufficiently efficient for industrial wastewater. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) addresses these drawbacks. MOF showed excellent dye removal and degradation capacity owing to its multifunctionality, water-stability, large surface area, tunable pore size and recyclability. Magnetic MOFs retained excellent performance up to several consecutive cycles. Modified MOFs performed as Fenton-like catalysis process which generated abundant reactive radicals that degraded complex organic dyes into simple and less toxic forms which were further adsorbed onto the MOF. This review systematically compiles in-depth studies on the adsorptive removal of dyes from wastewater, MOF adsorption mechanisms, major influencing factors, to adsorption efficiency of MOFs. While all MOFs adsorb dyes through electrostatic attraction, the type of MOF, presence of functional groups, ligands, and pH significantly control the adsorption mechanism. Before developing an MOF, optimization and upgradation of factors and interaction between available adsorption site and adsorbate is needed. Finally, the prospects and new frontiers of MOFs in sustainable water treatment is discussed.

Abstract
Amorphous materials inherit short- and medium-range order from the corresponding crystal and thus preserve some of its properties while still exhibiting novel properties1,2. Due to its important applications in technology, amorphous carbon with sp2 or mixed sp2-sp3 hybridization has been explored and prepared3,4, but synthesis of bulk amorphous carbon with sp3 concentration close to 100% remains a challenge. Such materials inherit the short-/medium-range order of diamond and should also inherit its superior properties5. Here, we successfully synthesized millimetre-sized samples-with volumes 103-104 times as large as produced in earlier studies-of transparent, nearly pure sp3 amorphous carbon by heating fullerenes at pressures close to the cage collapse boundary. The material synthesized consists of many randomly oriented clusters with diamond-like short-/medium-range order and possesses the highest hardness (101.9 ± 2.3 GPa), elastic modulus (1,182 ± 40 GPa) and thermal conductivity (26.0 ± 1.3 W m-1 K-1) observed in any known amorphous material. It also exhibits optical bandgaps tunable from 1.85 eV to 2.79 eV. These discoveries contribute to our knowledge about advanced amorphous materials and the synthesis of bulk amorphous materials by high-pressure and high-temperature techniques and may enable new applications for amorphous solids.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can be melt-quenched to form glasses. Here, we present an alternative route to glassy ZIFs via mechanically induced amorphisation. This approach allows various glassy ZIFs to be produced in under 30 minutes at room temperature, without the need for melt-quenching.

Abstract
Revealing the deformation mechanism of brittle materials under sharp contact loading (indentation) is important for their applications since this knowledge is crucial for identifying the origin of flaw and scratch formation on their surfaces. As a newly emerged glass family, metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses have not been studied concerning the mechanism of their indentation-induced deformation. Here, we explore this mechanism for ZIF-62 glass (a typical MOF glass system). The fractions of densification and shear flow during indentation were determined by atomic force microscopy, while the elastic deformation was measured via nanoindentation. The results show that ZIF-62 glass deforms primarily through densification and elastic deformation under the sharp contact loading. Significant pile-ups around indents were not observed, indicating that no or limited shear flow occurs in the glass during indentation. This behavior could be attributed to three structural factors, namely, high free volume, easily densified glass structure, and limited translational mobility of structural units.

Abstract
Melt and glassy states of coordination polymers (CPs)/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained attention as a new class of amorphous materials. Many bridging ligands such as azolate, nitrile, thiocyanide, thiolate, pyridine, sulfonate, and amide are available to construct crystals with melting temperatures in the range of 60-593 °C. Here, we discuss the mechanism of crystal melting, glass structures, and mechanical properties by considering both experimental and theoretical studies. High and exclusive H+ or Li+ conductivities in moldable CP glasses have been proven in the all-solid-state devices such as fuel cells or secondary batteries. Transparent glasses with wide composition and available dopants are also attractive for nonlinear optics, photoconductivity, emission, and light-harvesting. The ongoing challenge in the field is to develop the design principles of CP/MOF melts and glasses, corresponding functions of mass (ion, electron, photon, phonon, and so forth). transport and conversion, and the integration of devices with the use of their tunable mechanical properties.

Abstract
Several organic-inorganic hybrid materials from the metal-organic framework (MOF) family have been shown to form stable liquids at high temperatures. Quenching then results in the formation of melt-quenched MOF glasses that retain the three-dimensional coordination bonding of the crystalline phase. These hybrid glasses have intriguing properties and could find practical applications, yet the melt-quench phenomenon has so far remained limited to a few MOF structures. Here we turn to hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites-which occupy a prominent position within materials chemistry owing to their functional properties such as ion transport, photoconductivity, ferroelectricity and multiferroicity-and show that a series of dicyanamide-based hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites undergo melting. Our combined experimental-computational approach demonstrates that, on quenching, they form glasses that largely retain their solid-state inorganic-organic connectivity. The resulting materials show very low thermal conductivities (~0.2 W m-1 K-1), moderate electrical conductivities (10-3-10-5 S m-1) and polymer-like thermomechanical properties.

Abstract
Humans primarily interact with information technology through glass touch screens, and the world would indeed be unrecognizable without glass. However, the low toughness of oxide glasses continues to be their Achilles heel, limiting both future applications and the possibility to make thinner, more environmentally friendly glasses. Here, we show that with proper control of plasticity mechanisms, record-high values of fracture toughness for transparent bulk oxide glasses can be achieved. Through proper combination of gas-mediated permanent densification and rational composition design, we increase the glasses' propensity for plastic deformation. Specifically, we demonstrate a fracture toughness of an aluminoborate glass (1.4 MPa m0.5) that is twice as high as that of commercial glasses for mobile devices. Atomistic simulations reveal that the densification of the adaptive aluminoborate network increases coordination number changes and bond swapping, ultimately enhancing plasticity and toughness upon fracture. Our findings thus provide general insights into the intrinsic toughening mechanisms of oxide glasses.

Abstract
Phosphate glasses of calcium oxide have been well proved materials for various bio bones and dental implants. However, still there is a lot of scope and demand to produce efficient elastic bio implants and resource. In view of this, ZrxCa30-xP70 phosphate materials are prepared by using melt quenching method. Bio, physical, thermoluminescence and elastic techniques are used to characterize the samples. Additionally, simulated body fluid was prepared and it is used especially for bio techniques. Further, the glasses are taken for different dose (~0, 10, 20 & 50 kGy) of gamma irradiation around half an hour. And again similar techniques are used to characterize the samples. All the findings from bio, physical, thermoluminescence and elastic characterization results are analysed and took for better comparison with previous studies to develop various bio bone (or) bio dental resource. Structural reports suggests that the ZrxCa30-xP70 materials were glassy before immersion in SBF solution and immersed (~720 h) samples are showing partial ceramic nature. The weight loss and pH reports suggests them for alternative bio resource as a bio bones and dental implants. Observed thermal stability, microhardness and elastic modulus evaluations of ZrxCa30-xP70 materials in required standards are also additional advantage. Furthermore, thermoluminiscence (TL) under different γ-irradiation doses is reported for glasses with and without immersing in a simulated body fluid. The glasses lose TL intensity when immersed in simulated body fluid for nearly 720 h. This is useful to modulate bio-behaviour in terms of hydroxyapatite layer growth on the glass surface.

Abstract
Controlled bottom-up synthesis of amorphous coordination polymers with tailored metal coordination is a research field in its infancy. In this study, synthesis control was achieved to selectively prepare one-dimensional (1D) crystalline and amorphous zinc(ii)-based coordination polymers and a dimeric molecular compound, all with similar coordination geometry as evidenced by X-ray diffraction and total scattering studies. The compounds were obtained by bottom up self-assembly of Zn(ii) with terephthalate (tph2-) as linker and the enantiopure chelating ligand S-(1,2)-bis(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)ethanol (L). The solvent and the coordination ability of the precursor zinc salt anion control the crystalline products formed by slow diffusion at room temperature: perchlorate allows isolation of the phase pure crystalline 1D polymer {[Zn(tph)(L)]·H2O·3DMF}n (1·H2O·3DMF, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide). In contrast, zinc chloride leads to the formation of either a mixture of polymeric 1·H2O·3DMF and a dimeric molecular species [Zn2Cl2(tph)(L)2]·4DMF (2·4DMF), or to the phase pure dimer 2·4DMF, depending on the Zn(ii) : tphH2 stoichiometry. A modified synthesis using zinc nitrate and fast precipitation by base addition results in an amorphous analogue of the 1D polymer (3). Chains of 1·H2O·3DMF pack into a non-porous crystalline material with a surface area of just 6 m2 g-1, while the outer surface area of amorphous polymer 3 is a factor of eight larger. Hence, the amorphous compound provides larger metal site accessibility for potential surface chemical reactions, while maintaining the coordination geometry of the metal sites. The temperature response of crystalline polymer 1·H2O·3DMF was studied using multi-temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction (100-300 K). The a = b axes display normal positive thermal expansion, while the c axis remains constant with increasing temperature due to partial relaxation of the terephthalate linkers and slightly changed geometry within the individual polymer chains.

Abstract
Crack propagation is the major vehicle for material failure, but the mechanisms by which cracks propagate remain longstanding riddles, especially for glassy materials with a long-range disordered atomic structure. Recently, cavitation was proposed as an underlying mechanism governing the fracture of glasses, but experimental determination of the cavitation behavior of fracture is still lacking. Here, we present unambiguous experimental evidence to firmly establish the cavitation mechanism in the fracture of glasses. We show that crack propagation in various glasses is dominated by the self-organized nucleation, growth, and coalescence of nanocavities, eventually resulting in the nanopatterns on the fracture surfaces. The revealed cavitation-induced nanostructured fracture morphologies thus confirm the presence of nanoscale ductility in the fracture of nominally brittle glasses, which has been debated for decades. Our observations would aid a fundamental understanding of the failure of disordered systems and have implications for designing tougher glasses with excellent ductility.

The fracture mechanism of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) glasses is revealed to be associated with bond switching of organic linkers around central Zn nodes. The bond switching is more pronounced for ZIF glasses with smaller organic linkers.
