Single-molecule trap: Easy activation of the water-stable metal–organic framework PCN-200 provides a new route to low-energy selective CO2 capture through stimuli-responsive adsorption behavior. This elastic trapping effect was confirmed by single-component and binary gas-adsorption isotherms crystallographic determination.
