Zeolitic Boron Imidazolate Frameworks with 4‐Connected Octahedral Metal Centers

Abstract

Solvent selection! The organically templated co-assembly between tetrahedral [B(imidazolate)4]− and [Co(ac)]+ units leads to two previously unknown zeolitic boron imidazolate frameworks with ACO and ABW topologies (denoted BIF-22 and BIF-23; e-urea=ethyleneurea), respectively. BIF-22 is chiral and shows interesting CO2 selectivity over N2 and CH4. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
