Abstract

Successful development of a new synthetic approach towards tetrahedral imidazolate frameworks (TIFs) via combining an auxiliary uninegative linker into the zinc-imidazolate tetrahedral assembly leads to new TIF materials (TIF-A1 to TIF-A3) with distinct structural topologies and high CO(2) uptake capacity.
