The shaping of the bulk agZIF-62(Zn) into such advanced structures offers a perspective for potential use-cases of MOF-glasses in photonic devices. As expected, we run into several effects that make handling of agZIF-62(Zn) challenging, such as shrinking of the glass melt due to collapsing porosity, which requires intricate process control in order to achieve large, crack free objects. Another complication in the shaping of agZIF-62 lies in the hybrid organic-inorganic nature, which makes it essential to handle the melt under inert atmosphere.
