Switchable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been proposed for various energy-related storage and separation applications, but the mechanistic understanding of adsorption-induced switching transitions is still at an early stage. Here we report critical design criteria negative gas adsorption (NGA), a counterintuitive feature pressure amplifying materials, hitherto uniquely observed in highly porous framework compound (DUT-49). These are derived by analysing physical effects...
