NMR relaxation studies and spectroscopic measurements of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) are reported. The dominant nuclear spin-lattice relaxation (T-1) mechanism for ZIF-8 in air arises from atmospheric paramagnetic molecular oxygen. The C-13 T-1 measurements indicate that the oxygen interacts primarily with the imidazolate ring rather than the methyl substituent. Similar relaxation behavior was also observed in a ZIF with an unsubstituted ring, ZIF-4. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was used to provide data for the study of the thermal ellipsoids of ZIF-8 at variable temperatures from 100 to 298 K, which further confirmed the rigid nature of this ZIF framework. These results highlight a rigid ZIF framework and are in contrast with dynamic metal-organic frameworks based on benzenedicarboxylate linking groups, for which the relaxation reflects the dynamics of the benzenedicarboxylate moiety.
