Kinetic Gate-Opening Process in a Flexible Porous Coordination Polymer

摘要

Recently,there has been growing interest in the nature of flexible and dynamic porous coordination polymers (PCPs) that reversibly change their structures and properties in response to guest adsorption.After one of the present authors predicted their importance many flexible PCPs have been prepared in only a decade.So-called structural dynamism has been identified as a key principle for high selectivity,accommodation,and molecular sensing.One of the most interesting phenomena in flexible PCPs is stepwise adsorption caused by the guest-induced framework transition.
