Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) continue to attract attention in material science due to their diverse applications, from gas storage to catalysis . These porous materials have a three-dimensional structure, often consisting of metal ions or clusters coordinated to organic ligands, and they are particularly renowned for their large surface areas. Within this family, Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) offer unique benefits, including chemical robustness, scalable synthesis, and varied topologies. ZIF-8, characterized by its sodalite (SOD) topology, serves as a model system, given its particular relevance for storage and separation tasks . ZIF-8 is frequently utilized due to its stability and flexibility in various applications. The use of X-ray crystallography has been the key tool for high-resolution structure determination of MOFs , however this is dependent on the growth of large crystals that can be difficult for many samples.
