a Crystal structure of ZIF-62(Zn). Color code: C = green, N = blue, H = orange, polyhedra (Zn central atom) = gray. b XRD of ZIF-62 (red), calculated PXRD of ZIF-6241 (dark-gray) for comparison and the XRD pattern of the amorphous agZIF-62(Zn) (blue). c Results of ZIF-62 melting while pressed between soda-lime (SL) silica glass, platinum, and aluminium substrates and samples prepared for the melting (inset). d Large agZIF-62 layer on aluminium foil without an annealing step, after melting e the same sample after a few days, with a crack due to missing annealing program.
