Theoretical and Experimental Evaluation of the Effect of Fluorinated Substituent on the Topological Landscape and Thermodynamic Stability of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework Polymorphs
Keyword(s):
By combining mechanochemical synthesis and calorimetry with theoretical calculations, we demonstrate that dispersion-corrected periodic density functional theory (DFT) can accurately survey the topological landscape and predict relative energies of polymorphs for a previously inaccessible fluorine-substituted zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF). Experimental screening confirmed two out of three theoretically anticipated polymorphs, and the calorimetric measurements provided an excellent match to theoretically calculated energetic difference between them.<br>
