title: A two-dimensional zeolitic imidazolate framework with a cushion-shaped cavity for CO2 adsorption.
abstract: A new two-dimensional zeolitic imidazolate framework (named as ZIF-L) was synthesized in zinc salt and 2-methylimidazole (Hmim) aqueous solution at room temperature. ZIF-L (Zn(mim)2·(Hmim)1/2·(H2O)3/2 or C10H16N5O3/2Zn) has unique cushion-shaped cavities and leaf-like crystal morphology, and exhibits excellent CO2 adsorption properties.
