Abstract

The tuning of micropore environments in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) by mixed-linker synthesis has the potential for enabling new molecular separation properties. However, de novo synthesis of mixed-linker (hybrid) ZIFs is often challenging due to the disparate chemical properties of the different linkers. Here, we elucidate the structure and properties of an unconventional ZIF-8-7 hybrid material synthesized via a controlled-acid-gas-assisted degradation and reconstruction (solvent-assisted crystal redemption, SACRed) strategy. Selective insertion of benzimidazole (ZIF-7 linker) into ZIF-8 using SACRed is used as a facile method to generate a ZIF-8-7 hybrid material that is otherwise difficult to synthesize by de novo methods. Detailed crystal structure and textural characterizations clarify the significant differences in the microstructure of the SACRed-derived ZIF-8-7 hybrid material relative to a de novo synthesized hybrid of the same overall linker composition as well as the parent ZIF-8 material. Unary and binary adsorption measurements reveal the tunability of adsorption characteristics as well as the prevalence of nonideal cooperative mixture adsorption effects that lead to large deviations from predictions made with ideal adsorbed solution theory.
