 Zeolitic imidazolate framework

Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) are a class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) characterized by their zeolite-like structures. They consist of metal ions (commonly zinc or cobalt) coordinated with imidazolate ligands, which are organic compounds derived from imidazole. ZIFs are notable for their high surface area, tunable pore sizes, and structural stability, particularly at elevated temperatures and in the presence of moisture.
