Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses, known for their potential in gas separation, optics, and solid-state electrolytes, benefit from the processability of their (supercooled) liquid state. Traditionally, MOF glasses are produced by heating MOF crystals to their melting point and then cooling the liquid MOF to room temperature under an inert atmosphere. While effective, this melt-quenching technique requires high energy due to the high temperatures involved. It also limits the scope of new material development by restricting the compositional range to only those combinations of metal ions and linkers that are highly thermally stable. An alternative, mechanical milling at room temperature, has demonstrated its capability to transform MOF crystals into amorphous phases. However, the specific conditions under which these amorphous phases exhibit glass-like behavior remain uncharted. In this study, we explore the mechanochemical amorphization and vitrification of a variety of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) with diverse linkers and different metal ions (Zn2+, Co2+ and Cu2+) at room temperature. Our findings demonstrate that ZIFs capable of melting can be successfully converted into glasses through ball-milling. Remarkably, some non-meltable ZIFs can also be vitrified using the ball-milling technique, as highlighted by the preparation of the first Cu2+-based ZIF glass.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid porous materials presenting several tuneable properties, allowing them to be utilised for a wide range of applications. To date, focus has been on the preparation of novel crystalline MOFs for specific applications. Recently, interest in amorphous MOFs (aMOFs), defined by their lack of correlated long-range order, is growing. This is due to their potential favourable properties compared to their crystalline equivalents, including increased defect concentration, improved processability and gas separation ability. Direct synthesis of these disordered materials presents an alternative method of preparation to post-synthetic amorphisation of a crystalline framework, potentially allowing for the preparation of aMOFs with varying compositions and structures, and very different properties to crystalline MOFs. This perspective summarises current literature on directly synthesised aMOFs, and proposes methods that could be utilised to modify existing syntheses for crystalline MOFs to form their amorphous counterparts. It outlines parameters that could discourage the ordering of crystalline MOFs, before examining the potential properties that could emerge. Methodologies of structural characterisation are discussed, in addition to the necessary analyses required to define a topologically amorphous structure.

Abstract
Here we describe the synthesis of a compositional series of metal-organic framework crystalline-inorganic glass composites (MOF-CIGCs) containing ZIF-8 and an inorganic phosphate glass, 20Na2O-10NaCl-70P2O5, to expand the library of host matrices for metal-organic frameworks. By careful selection of the inorganic glass component, a relatively high loading of ZIF-8 (70 wt%) was achieved, which is the active component of the composite. A Zn⋯O-P interfacial bond, previously identified in similar composites/hybrid blends, was suggested by analysis of the total scattering pair distribution function data. Additionally, CO2 and N2 sorption and variable-temperature PXRD experiments were performed to assess the composites' properties.

Abstract
Recent research on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has shown a shift from considering only the crystalline high-porosity phases to exploring their amorphous counterparts. Applying pressure to a crystalline MOF is a common method of amorphization, as MOFs contain large void spaces that can collapse, reducing the accessible surface area. This can be either a desired change or indeed an unwanted side effect of the application of pressure. In either case, understanding the MOF's pressure response is extremely important. Three such MOFs with varying pore sizes (UiO-66, MOF-808, and NU-1000) were investigated using in situ high-pressure X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Partial crystallinity was observed in all three MOFs above 10 GPa, along with some recovery of crystallinity on return to ambient conditions if the frameworks were not compressed above thresholds of 13.3, 14.2, and 12.3 GPa for UiO-66, MOF-808, and NU-1000, respectively. This threshold was marked by an unexpected increase in one or more lattice parameters with pressure in all MOFs. Comparison of compressibility between MOFs suggests penetration of the pressure-transmitting oil into MOF-808 and NU-1000. The survival of some crystallinity above 10 GPa in all of these MOFs despite their differing pore sizes and extents of oil penetration demonstrates the importance of high-pressure characterization of known structures.

Abstract
The possibility of enriching in 17O the water molecules within hydrated biominerals belonging to the Ca-pyrophosphate family was investigated, using liquid assisted grinding (LAG) in the presence of 17O-labelled water. Two phases with different hydration levels, namely triclinic calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (Ca2P2O7·2H2O, denoted t-CPPD) and monoclinic calcium pyrophosphate tetrahydrate (Ca2P2O7·4H2O, denoted m-CPPT β) were enriched in 17O using a "post-enrichment" strategy, in which the non-labelled precursors were ground under gentle milling conditions in the presence of stoichiometric quantities of 17O-enriched water (introduced here in very small volumes ∼10 μL). Using high-resolution 17O solid-state NMR (ssNMR) analyses at multiple magnetic fields, and dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP)-enhanced 17O NMR, it was possible to show that the labelled water molecules are mainly located at the core of the crystal structures, but that they can enter the lattice in different ways, namely by dissolution/recrystallisation or by diffusion. Overall, this work sheds light on the importance of high-resolution 17O NMR to help decipher the different roles that water can play as a liquid-assisted grinding agent and as a reagent for 17O-isotopic enrichment.

Abstract
The zeolitic imidazole framework ZIF-71 has the potential to outperform other well-studied metal-organic frameworks due to its intrinsic hydrophobicity and relatively large pore size. However, a detailed description of its complex physical phenomena and structural dynamics has been lacking thus far. Herein, we report the complete assignment of the vibrational modes of ZIF-71 using high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering measurements and synchrotron radiation infrared spectroscopy, corroborated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. With its 816 atoms per unit cell, ZIF-71 is the largest system yet for which frequency calculations have been accomplished employing the CRYSTAL17 DFT code. We discover low-energy terahertz dynamics such as gate-opening and shearing modes that are central to the functions and stability of the ZIF-71 framework structure. Nanoscale analytical methods based on atomic force microscopy (near-field infrared spectroscopy and AFM nanoindentation) further unravel the local chemical and mechanical properties of ZIF-71 single crystals.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have long been recognized as a prominent subset of the metal-organic framework (MOF) family, in part because of their ease of synthesis and good thermal and chemical stability, alongside attractive properties for diverse potential applications. Prototypical ZIFs like ZIF-8 have become embodiments of the significant promise held by porous coordination polymers as next-generation designer materials. At the same time, their intriguing property of experiencing significant structural changes upon the application of external stimuli such as temperature, mechanical pressure, guest adsorption, or electromagnetic fields, among others, has placed this family of MOFs squarely under the umbrella of stimuli-responsive materials. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the triggered structural and electronic responses observed in ZIFs (linker and bond dynamics, crystalline and amorphous phase changes, luminescence, etc.). We then describe the state-of-the-art experimental and computational methodology capable of shedding light on these complex phenomena, followed by a comprehensive summary of the stimuli-responsive nature of four prototypical ZIFs: ZIF-8, ZIF-7, ZIF-4, and ZIF-zni. We further expose the relevant challenges for the characterization and fundamental understanding of responsive ZIFs, including how to take advantage of their flexible properties for new application avenues.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are intriguing host materials in composite electrolytes due to their ability for tailoring host-guest interactions by chemical tuning of the MOF backbone. Here, we introduce particularly high sodium ion conductivity into the zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8 by impregnation with the sodium-salt-containing ionic liquid (IL) (Na0.1EMIM0.9)TFSI. We demonstrate an ionic conductivity exceeding 2 × 10-4 S · cm-1 at room temperature, with an activation energy as low as 0.26 eV, i.e., the highest reported performance for room temperature Na+-related ion conduction in MOF-based composite electrolytes to date. Partial amorphization of the ZIF-backbone by ball-milling results in significant enhancement of the composite stability towards exposure to ambient conditions, up to 20 days. While the introduction of network disorder decelerates IL exudation and interactions with ambient contaminants, the ion conductivity is only marginally affected, decreasing with decreasing crystallinity but still maintaining superionic behavior. This highlights the general importance of 3D networks of interconnected pores for efficient ion conduction in MOF/IL blends, whereas pore symmetry is a less stringent condition.

Abstract
We study the structural and thermomechanical effects of cation substitution in the compositional family of metal-organic frameworks Zn1-xCdx(mIm)2 (HmIm = 2-methylimidazole). We find complete miscibility for all compositions x, with evidence of inhomogeneous distributions of Cd and Zn that in turn affect framework aperture characteristics. Using variable-temperature X-ray powder diffraction measurements, we show that Cd substitution drives a threefold reduction in the magnitude of thermal expansion behaviour. We interpret this effect in terms of an increased density of negative thermal expansion modes in the more flexible Cd-rich frameworks.

Abstract
The influence of a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)'s metal identity on its gas separation performance is studied extensively through molecular simulations for a variety of gases. ZIF-8 is used as the original framework for alterations of different metal substitutes of the Zn2+ metal. ZIF-8 consists of cages connected by narrow apertures that exhibit flexibility through "swelling", allowing for relatively large penetrants to diffuse. Replacing the central metal atom in the basic tetrahedral unit of ZIF-8 with Cd, Co or Be results in three different structures with increasing bonding stiffness with their neighboring atoms. The metal modification approach offers a way to control the flexibility and the size of the aperture, which constitutes the main energy barrier of the penetrant's hop-like diffusion between the framework's cages. Newly developed force fields are reported and utilized here; the new frameworks are compared to the original one, in terms of the diffusivity of various gas molecules as a function of their size (from He to n-butane). The correlation of the gas diffusivity with the aperture flexibility-molecular size relation is investigated. The results reveal that the aperture flexibility-molecular size relation governs the diffusivity, which shapes a common trend along all modifications. Furthermore, a new generalized method is employed for the screening of the various modifications for specific gas separations. This method is useful to detect optimum separation performance for the various modifications: CdIF-1 (Cd) for n-butane/iso-butane mixture; ZIF-67 (Co) for propylene/n-propane and ethylene/ethane mixtures; BeIF-1 (Be) for CO2/C2H6, CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 mixtures.

Abstract
Blue-color stimulated emission with low threshold power is observed from In- and Zn-MOFs, which feature a highly fluorescent chromophore densely packed and rigidly linked to the metal-ion centers in the solid state. The density-of-states and transition dipole moments are calculated and the stimulated emission phenomenon is correlated with these properties.

Abstract
Controlling the formation of coordination bonds is pivotal to the development of a plethora of functional metal-organic materials, ranging from coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to metallodrugs. The interest in and commercialization of such materials has created a need for more efficient, environmentally-friendly routes for making coordination bonds. Solid-state coordination chemistry is a versatile greener alternative to conventional synthesis, offering quantitative yields, enhanced stoichiometric and topological selectivity, access to a wider range of precursors, as well as to molecules and materials not readily accessible in solution or solvothermally. With a focus on mechanochemical, thermochemical and “accelerated aging” approaches to coordination polymers, including pharmaceutically-relevant materials and microporous MOFs, this review highlights the recent advances in solid-state coordination chemistry and techniques for understanding the underlying reaction mechanisms.

Thermodynamic Insight in the High-Pressure Behavior of UiO-66: Effect of Linker Defects and Linker Expansion. CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS : A PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY 2016; 28:5721-5732.

Abstract
In this Article, we present a molecular-level understanding of the experimentally observed loss of crystallinity in UiO-66-type metal-organic frameworks, including the pristine UiO-66 to -68 as well as defect-containing UiO-66 materials, under the influence of external pressure. This goal is achieved by constructing pressure-versus-volume profiles at finite temperatures using a thermodynamic approach relying on ab initio derived force fields. On the atomic level, the phenomenon is reflected in a sudden drop in the number of symmetry operators for the crystallographic unit cell because of the disordered displacement of the organic linkers with respect to the inorganic bricks. For the defect-containing samples, a reduced mechanical stability is observed, however, critically depending on the distribution of these defects throughout the material, hence demonstrating the importance of judiciously characterizing defects in these materials.
