In one of my sample, there are two peaks ranged from 10º ~ 12º, suggesting the new phase of ZIF-L. What is that phase - orthorhombic or cubic? Can anyone please provide JCPDS (ICDD) card number for ZIF-L?
ZIF-L is typically synthesized using 2-methylimidazolate (2-mIm) as the ligand.
The choice of 2-mIm and its interaction with zinc ions (Zn²⁺) is crucial in determining the final structure of the ZIF.
The coordination geometry of zinc ions with the 2-methylimidazolate ligands can influence the formation of a layered structure.
The type of solvent used in the synthesis process can affect the assembly of the framework. For ZIF-L, water is commonly used as the solvent.
The polarity and hydrogen-bonding capability of water play a role in guiding the formation of the layered structure.
