Abstract

A high-throughput protocol was developed for the synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). Twenty-five different ZIF crystals were synthesized from only 9600 microreactions of either zinc(II)/cobalt(II) and imidazolate/imidazolate-type linkers. All of the ZIF structures have tetrahedral frameworks: 10 of which have two different links (heterolinks), 16 of which are previously unobserved compositions and structures, and 5 of which have topologies as yet unobserved in zeolites. Members of a selection of these ZIFs (termed ZIF-68, ZIF-69, and ZIF-70) have high thermal stability (up to 390°C) and chemical stability in refluxing organic and aqueous media. Their frameworks have high porosity (with surface areas up to 1970 square meters per gram), and they exhibit unusual selectivity for CO 2 capture from CO 2 /CO mixtures and extraordinary capacity for storing CO 2 : 1 liter of ZIF-69 can hold ∼83 liters of CO 2 at 273 kelvin under ambient pressure.

The isolation of the sample array is accomplished in parallel by sonication and transfer in a custom-designed shallow metal plate which allows the presence of a small amount of solvent during the PXRD data collection. The samples were then analyzed by a Bruker D8 DISCOVER high-throughput PXRD instrument with a movable horizontal x - y stage for automated analysis and an image plate detector system. The data collection time was 3 to 6 min per sample. The PXRD patterns thus collected were compared against an in-house library of PXRD patterns of known ZIFs and other network-type materials.
