Abstract

Abstract : Smart adsorbents with target‐specific active sites for selective CO2 capture are described by X.‐Q. Liu, L.‐B. Sun, and co‐workers in their Communication on page 6600 ff. Amines were introduced into photoresponsive metal–organic frameworks (PMOFs) as active sites. The cis/trans isomerization of azobenzene motifs triggered by irradiation with UV/Vis light lead to exposure/shelter of the amines and modulation of CO2 adsorption on these active sites.
