The reactivity of an inorganic glass melt with ZIF-8

Abstract
The thermal behaviour of ZIF-8, Zn(meIm)2 in the presence of a sodium fluoroaluminophosphate glass melt was probed through differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The structural integrity of ZIF-8 was then determined by a combination of powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infra-red and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
