title: Guest-responsive function of a dynamic metal-organic framework with a π Lewis acidic pore surface.
abstract: A 3D dynamic coordination framework with an electron-deficient pore surface has been synthesized by using Zn(II) (having a variable coordination number) and a predesigned flexible π-electron-deficient core-based ligand, exhibiting chemical separations based on pore surface functionalization (π Lewis acidic pore surfaces and open metal sites) and framework flexibility, giving rise to a unique smart guest-responsive material.
