Article Synopsis
- Stimuli-responsive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can change their structure and gas adsorption properties when exposed to external factors like temperature.
- A specific MOF, identified as ·[CuCl], can switch from a rigid to a flexible phase due to a temperature change, altering its gas adsorption behavior significantly.
- This structural change is driven by a new mechanism that modifies the coordination and geometry of copper ions within the framework, allowing the MOF to express its inherent flexibility.
