Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>We demonstrate herein a promising pathway towards low‐energy CO₂ capture and release triggered by UV and visible light. A photosensitive diarylethene ligand was used to construct a photochromic diarylethene metal–organic framework (DMOF). A local photochromic reaction originating from the framework movement induced by the photoswitchable diarylethene unit resulted in record CO₂‐desorption capacity of 75 % under static irradiation and 76 % under dynamic irradiation.</p> </abstract>
