title: Rapid room temperature syntheses of zeolitic-imidazolate framework (ZIF) nanocrystals.
abstract: Solvent mixture controlled rapid room temperature syntheses for facile access to uniform zeolitic-imidazolate framework nanocrystals (ZIF-7, ZIF-65-Zn and ZIF-71) are reported. ZIF thin film devices for sensing volatile organic chemicals were fabricated by dip-coating nano-ZIF (80-130 nm) suspensions.
