Abstract
In this report, we summarize our experimental and theoretical investigations in the zinc(II) imidazolate, [Zn(im)2], and zinc(II) 4,5-dichloroimidazolate, [Zn(dcim)2], systems that have been published previously. This comprises a study on the thermodynamic stabilities of the two densest phases with coi and zni framework structures in the [Zn(im)2] system including the discovery and characterization of a new [Zn(im)2·0.5py]-neb phase (py = pyridine), a study on the mechanism of formation of the [Zn(im)2]-zni phase as well as a study on the discovery and characterization of a new [Zn(dcim)2]-SOD phase. In addition, we present as yet unpublished work. This concerns the discovery and characterization of a new [Zn(im)2·0.5mor]-neb phase (mor = morpholine) and investigations of the mechanisms of crystallization of [Zn(im)2·0.5py]-neb and [Zn(im)2·0.5mor]-neb as well as an evalutation of time-resolved SAXS/WAXS data recorded in-situ during the formation of [Zn(im)2]-zni.
