This invention discloses a size-controllable
zeolite-like
imidazole ester framework material and its preparation method. The preparation method includes the following steps: Step 1, dissolving an organic ligand in a
solvent to obtain an organic ligand solution; Step 2, adding a
metal salt to the organic ligand solution under stirring conditions, and reacting at
room temperature to obtain a suspension; Step 3, sequentially centrifuging, washing, and
drying the suspension to obtain the
zeolite-like
imidazole ester framework material. The
metal salt is selected from any one or two of
cobalt salts and
zinc salts. The organic ligand is selected from any one or more of
imidazole, 2-methylimidazole, 2-ethylimidazole, 2-
nitroimidazole, imidazole-2-carboxaldehyde, and
benzimidazole. This invention, without adding other raw materials or changing the
reaction conditions, can successfully synthesize
zeolite-like imidazole ester framework materials of different sizes simply by precisely controlling the concentration of the reaction precursor (i.e., imidazole derivative and coordinating
metal ions). The control mechanism is simple and clear.
