Abstract

Abstract Metal–organic framework (MOF) glasses feature several unique dynamic and thermodynamic properties that differentiate them from their crystalline counterparts. However, the formation of MOF glasses usually requires the melt‐quenching of molten MOFs from relatively high temperatures. In practice, this approach is quite limited because most MOFs decompose below their melting points. Herein, we demonstrate a direct crystal‐to‐glass transition in HKUST‐1 MOF that has been achieved at room temperature and a relatively low pressure of
