The first Mn-ZIF glass, ag-MUV-44, was obtained indirectly via solvent-free synthesis and subsequent solid-state transformation. It exhibits a very low melting temperature and a large interval between melting and decomposition. @ChemCommun @ICMol_UV @GMinguezEsp @luisleonalca

We also prepared a crystalline heterometallic imidazolate derivative, MUV-25, with Fe and Zn. Upon several structural rearrangements, a molten state is achieved yielding a heterometallic glass. @ChemicalScience @ICMol_UV @GMinguezEsp @luisleonalca @celiacb90 @ThomasDBennett
