Hybrid glasses derived from meltable MOFs promise to combine the best of two worlds: the chemical tailorability of MOFs with the processing ability of glasses. We now demonstrated the manufacture of glass objects for micro-optical applications from such hybrid, MOF-derived glasses, by conventional glass forming techniques. For this, we initially revisited the optical properties of agZIF-62(Zn), in particular, the UV/Vis/NIR total and internal transmittance by comparing different techniques, and using optical quality materials which have not been available previously. Thereby, it was possible to collect internal transmittance data independent not only from scattering and reflection, but also from the porosity and defects of agZIF-62(Zn). In this way, we demonstrated optical transmission of up to 99.5% in the visible spectral range, for a sample thickness on the scale of a millimeter. The refractive index and Abbe number were found to be higher than previously reported , which is an effect of the improved agZIF-62(Zn) purity and overall optical quality. Viscosity data were subsequently collected directly, below Tm (agZIF-62(Zn)), using ball penetration technique. Such data are a prerequisite for hot processing, but had previously been available only through extrapolation using the liquid fragility index. In particular, we monitored non-equilibrium viscosity during micro-penetration. Using these data, a process for fabricating micro-optical elements through thermal imprinting techniques was developed. For this, negative templates were prepared by two-photon lithography, and used for producing arrays of convex as well as concave microlenses on agZIF-62(Zn) substrates. The optical performance of such lenses was also reported.
