Responsive Metal–Organic Frameworks and Framework Materials: Under Pressure, Taking the Heat, in the Spotlight, with Friends

Recent years have seen a large increase of the research effort focused on framework materials, including the nowadays-ubiquitous metal–organic frameworks but also dense coordination polymers, covalent organic frameworks, and molecular frameworks. With the quickly increasing number of structures synthesized and characterized, one pattern emerging is the common occurrence of flexibility. More specifically, an important number of framework...
