Abstract
Glasses are typically formed by melt-quenching, that is, cooling of a liquid on a timescale fast enough to avoid ordering to a crystalline state, and formerly thought to comprise three categories: inorganic (non-metallic), organic and metallic. Their impact is huge, providing safe containers, allowing comfortable and bright living spaces and even underlying the foundations of modern telecommunication. This impact is tempered by the inability to chemically design glasses with precise, well-defined and tunable structures: the literal quest for order in disorder. However, metal–organic or hybrid glasses are now considered to belong to a fourth category of glass chemistry. They have recently been demonstrated upon melt-quenching of coordination polymer, metal–organic framework and hybrid perovskite framework solids. In this Review, we discuss hybrid glasses through the lens of both crystalline metal–organic framework and glass chemistry, physics and engineering, to provide a vision for the future of this class of materials. Hybrid glasses are considered the fourth category of glass, and they exhibit different structures and properties to inorganic, organic or metallic glasses. This Review discusses hybrid glasses through the lens of crystalline metal–organic frameworks and glass chemistry, physics and engineering, providing a vision for the future of this class of materials.
期刊介绍:
Nature Chemistry is a monthly journal that publishes groundbreaking and significant research in all areas of chemistry. It covers traditional subjects such as analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, as well as a wide range of other topics including catalysis, computational and theoretical chemistry, and environmental chemistry.
The journal also features interdisciplinary research at the interface of chemistry with biology, materials science, nanotechnology, and physics. Manuscripts detailing such multidisciplinary work are encouraged, as long as the central theme pertains to chemistry.
Aside from primary research, Nature Chemistry publishes review articles, news and views, research highlights from other journals, commentaries, book reviews, correspondence, and analysis of the broader chemical landscape. It also addresses crucial issues related to education, funding, policy, intellectual property, and the societal impact of chemistry.
Nature Chemistry is dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of original research through a fair and rigorous review process. It offers authors maximum visibility for their papers, access to a broad readership, exceptional copy editing and production standards, rapid publication, and independence from academic societies and other vested interests.
Overall, Nature Chemistry aims to be the authoritative voice of the global chemical community.
