Figure 4. Crystal structure of ZIF-8 viewed along the a axis, and showing an unit cell (parallelogram with sides in red, blue and black colors). For clarity, the hydrogen atoms are not shown. The orange, violet and grey spheres represent the zinc, nitrogen and carbon atoms. Drawn by using the CIF of ZIF-8 and the Mercury software
