With their high thermal and chemical stability and ease of fabrication, ZIFs are promising materials for strategies aimed at ameliorating increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The materials are chemically and thermally stable, yet have the long-sought-after design flexibility offered by functionalized organic links and a high density of transition metal ions1-7.
