摘要: Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has a “gate-opening” framework with narrow pore apertures that swing open by reorientation of 2-methylimidazolate (MeIM) linkers enforced guest adsorption. The present study aimed to employ free energy analysis provide insight into the mechanism adsorption-induced structural transition results from MeIM linkers. We combined experimental Ar adsorption at cryogenic temperatures grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations determine profiles as functions rotational angle linker (θIM) and bulk gas pressure. also estimated fluctuation system, which is crucial discussing metastable state. analysis, for example, 91 K, suggest following conclusions: A gradual up θIM = 10.5° occurs increasing pressure followed spontaneous transiti...
