A molecular-level investigation is reported on breathing behaviour of a metal-organic framework (<b>1</b>) in response to CO<sub>2</sub> gas pressure. High-pressure gas adsorption shows a pronounced step corresponding to a gate-opening phase transformation from a closed (<b>1<sub>cp</sub></b> ) to a large-pore (<b>1<sub>lp</sub></b> ) form. A plateau is observed upon desorption corresponding to narrow-pore intermediate form <b>1<sub>np</sub></b> which does not occur during adsorption. These even ...[more]
