Abstract

The family of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) compounds is efficient sorbent materials that can be used for catalytic, ion exchange, gas storage, and gas separation applications. A high-resolution reference X-ray powder diffraction pattern for one of the ZIF members, bis(2-methylimidazolyl)-zinc, C8H10N4Zn (commonly known as ZIF-8), was determined using synchrotron diffraction data obtained at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) in Argonne, IL. The sample was confirmed to be cubic I-43m, with a = 17.01162(6) Å, V = 4932.08 Å3, and Z = 12. The reference X-ray powder diffraction pattern has been submitted for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File (PDF).
