Ionic liquid facilitated melting of the metal-organic framework ZIF-8

The variety of hybrid glasses from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has remained strongly limited to only a handful of compounds. Here, the authors introduce a route to melt highly porous and non-meltable MOFs using ionic liquids in order to extend the range of MOF glasses.
