Photoswitching CO₂ capture and release in a photochromic diarylethene metal-organic framework.

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 ... View More
