Summary: This work reports the construction of zinc-based zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-8) microrings through an anisotropic growth-etching route. The method involves the deposition of ZIF-8 crystals on the edges of leaf-like ZIF-L nanosheets with coordinatively unsaturated Zn2+ and subsequent selective etching of alkaline unstable ZIF-L. Additionally, functional carbon materials with a ring-like structure can be prepared by pyrolysis of ZIF-8 microrings, exhibiting improved performance in oxygen reduction reaction. These findings may pave the way for the design of MOFs with sophisticated micro/nanostructures.

Summary: First-principles crystal structure prediction (CSP) is a powerful method for discovering new materials by predicting and evaluating their properties based on the underlying components. In this study, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were discovered using CSP, providing an alternative to conventional techniques relying on geometry and experimental screening. Experimental validation of the CSP procedure was done by synthesizing materials with structures matching the lowest-energy calculated structures, and properties such as combustion energies were evaluated from the CSP-derived structures.
