Research data supporting Metal-Organic Framework and Inorganic Glass Composites

This data set contains all of the data presented in the paper "'Metal-Organic Framework and Inorganic Glass Composites', L. Longley et. al, Nature Comms, Accepted”. This consists of structure and property data characterising a new class of hybrid glass – inorganic glass composites composed of glassy ZIF-62, [Zn(Im)1.75(bIm)0.25] (Im = C3H3N2− and bIm = C7H5N2−) and a series of aluminophosphate glasses of general formula (1−x)([Na2O]z[P2O5])-x([AlO3/2][AlF3]y). The structure of these composites is determined via powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), attenuated total reflectance infra-red spectroscopy (ATR-IR), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), light microscopy, 1H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), density measurements and X-ray total-scattering. The thermal properties during composite formation where characterised by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The mechanical properties and ionic conductivity of the composites were investigated via nano-indentation and impedance spectroscopy respectively. Each sub folder contains README files for each data collection technique explaining its contents and the methodology by which the data was gathered.
