A flexible microporous framework with temperature-dependent gate-opening behaviours for C2 gases

Herein we report a two-fold interpenetrating pillar-layer microporous material, whose framework severely shrinks after losing guest molecules and transforms into a stable nonporous one. More importantly, the guest-free framework has rarely seen temperature-dependent gate-opening behaviours for C2 gases around room temperature.

Automated summary

A two-fold interpenetrating pillar-layer microporous material is reported in this study, where the framework transforms into a stable nonporous one after losing guest molecules. The guest-free framework exhibits rare temperature-dependent gate-opening behaviors for C2 gases around room temperature.
