Abstract
simulations. Changes in short-range order are investigated, particularly the changes in bond length, bond angle, and tetrahedral unit volume. Furthermore, the asymmetric distribution of organic groups caused by the benzimidazole functional group leads to the difference in short-range disorder between ZIF-4 and ZIF-62 glasses, which contribute to the glass-forming ability difference.
