Abstract
Cu(ii)-based zeolitic imidazolates (Cu-ZIFs), Cu-ZIF-gis and -rho, formulated as Cu(nIm)(2) (nIm = 2-nitroimidazolate) have highly-flattened tetrahedral coordination geometry. Cu-ZIF-gis has 2.4 & ANGS; cylindrical pores that can adsorb H-2 gas, and Cu-ZIF-rho has 19.8 & ANGS; cages with a BET surface area of 1320 m(2) g(-1).
