a Photographs of bImCl-modified ZIF-4, ZIF-8, and ZIF-62 (R = 1.0) glasses after melt-quenching. Clear transparency is observed for the ZIF-4-bImCl and ZIF-62-bImCl samples. b, c Photographs of unmodified: b ZIF-4 and c, ZIF-62 glasses. Note the scale differences in (a–c). d SEM image of a ZIF-4-bImCl (R = 1.0) glass, showing smooth viscous flow and fracture lines, suggesting the existence of a liquid-like state during forming (red arrows). EDX measurements of ZIF-4-bImCl R = 1.0 glass for e C, f Cl, g N, and h Zn elements.
