Temperature-responsive flexibility in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) appeals to the imagination. The ability to transform upon thermal stimuli while retaining a given crystalline topology is desired for specialized sensors and actuators. However, rational design of such shape-memory nanopores is hampered by a lack of knowledge on the nanoscopic interactions governing the observed behavior. Using the prototypical MIL-53(Al) as a starting point, we show that the phase transformation between a nar ...[more]
