Abstract

Accumulation of radiation damage from synchrotron X-rays leads to complete amorphization of the initially crystalline metal–organic frameworks ZIF-4, ZIF-62, and ZIF-zni. The mechanism of this transformation is studied as a function of time and temperature and is shown to be non-isokinetic.
