Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are an important subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Recently, we have developed a new kind of ZIF-like materials, namely zeolitic tetrazolate-imidazolate frameworks (ZTIFs) by mixing imidazoles and tetrazolates into one self-assembly system. The introduction of tetrazolates supplies uncoordinated N sites on the frameworks, which remarkably enhance host-guest interactions. Furthermore, ZTIFs well balance the functionality and stability which have received more and more attention since their birth. In this manuscript, we give a complete review on the design and synthesis of ZTIFs. In particular, we emphasize the synthetic strategy to construct ZTIFs with diverse topological structures via link-link interaction and using structure-directing agents (SDAs) or templates. Their promising applications in gas separation, catalysis, electrocatalysis, chiral sensing and enantiomer separation, and so on are also discussed. This review will provide reference for scholars with the background of porous materials, separation, and catalysis.

沸石咪唑酸盐骨架（ZIF）是金属有机骨架（MOF）的重要子类。最近，我们通过将咪唑和四唑酸酯混合成一个自组装系统，开发了一种新型的ZIF类材料，即沸石四唑酸酯-咪唑酸酯骨架（ZTIFs）。四唑盐的引入在框架上提供了不协调的N位点，这显着增强了宿主-客体的相互作用。此外，ZTIF很好地平衡了功能和稳定性，自诞生以来，ZTIF受到越来越多的关注。在此手稿中，我们对ZTIF的设计和合成进行了完整的回顾。特别是，我们强调通过链接-链接相互作用以及使用结构指导剂（SDA）或模板来构建具有多种拓扑结构的ZTIF的综合策略。还讨论了它们在气体分离，催化，电催化，手性传感和对映体分离等方面的广阔应用前景。这篇综述将为具有多孔材料，分离和催化背景的学者提供参考。
