Superior thermoelasticity and shape-memory nanopores in a porous supramolecular organic framework

Designing porous materials with empty shape-switchable pores remains a formidable challenge. Here, the authors fabricate a supramolecular organic framework possessing empty shape-memory nanopores which operates via a ferroelastic transition, endowing it with switchable sorption properties.
