Channel-switching crystal with guest stress drive.
By the addition of a "leverage" mechanism in a host component of a metal-organic crystal, a channel-switching property was developed in a porous single-crystal adsorbent driven by incorporated guest gas stress, which may provide new single-crystal devices with the active controllability of anisotropic guest diffusivity.
