Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a new subclass of porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) which frequently have expanded zeolite topologies.[1–8] Most interestingly, some guest-free ZIFs have the large surface area and pore volume of classical MOFs; at the same time, they also have the high chemical and thermal stability of conventional zeolites.[4] Because of these combined and desirable features, ZIFs show great potential for many applications, especially for gas storage and separations.[5, 9–12] ZIF-8 (Zn (mim) 2, mim= 2-methylimidazolate) and ZIF-67 (Co (mim) 2) are the most representative ZIF materials with a zeolite sod topology. The expanded sod framework exhibits intriguing features: a large sod cage (11.6) is accessible through a narrow six-ring pore (3.4). Moreover, ZIF-8 has a high thermal stability (5508C in N2) and large surface area (BET: 1630 m2 gÀ1).[4] These features have made ZIF-8 the most established ZIF material and it has found a variety of impressive applications.[9, 11, 13–15]Thermally and chemically stable ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 have generally been synthesized by using DMF as an organic solvent that ultimately fills the pore space.[4] However, the guest molecule DMF is actually larger than the aperture of the sod cage, and could not be directly released. Their extensive applications require that the synthesis and activation of ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 samples are facile and environmentally friendly. Therefore, solvent-free (melting) synthesis (possible because of the low melting point of mim: mp 1448C) or hydrothermal synthesis, have significant potential for the development of effective and environmentally benign routes to ZIF-8 and ZIF-67. Actually, in the absence of the organic solvent DMF, a eutectic mixture is formed upon heating a mixture of Zn-(OAc) 2 and mim below the melting point of mim (Supporting Information, Figure S1). The eutectic mixture was then kept for 24 h either at 1208C or 1508C. However, the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis of the unwashed products showed that this solvent-free (melting) synthesis had not
