Chemical structure, network topology, and porosity effects on the mechanical properties of Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks.

The mechanical properties of seven zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) based on five unique network topologies have been systematically characterized by single-crystal nanoindentation studies. We demonstrate that the elastic properties of ZIF crystal structures are strongly correlated to the fram...
