bonds, leading to bond breakage. However, we were not able to
locate reported examples of this phenomenon for breathing
MOFs. Kitagawa and co-workers described the effect of crystal
downsizing, providing experimental to support the assertion that
“reduction in the number of repeating units should be sufficient
to regulate the cooperative nature of [structural transformations]
and the effect of stress.”23 We postulate that the reduction in
particle size in a sample of 1 with repeated fracturing of
crystallites finally results in a particle size for which the stress
induced by breathing is minimised. The mechanical degradation
of particles of 1 is evident in the SEM images in Figure S20.

Figure 4. The maximum integral heat from pressure-DSC plotted against the
cycle number of CO2 sorption-desorption.
Direct activation of 1A results in a loss of framework integrity,
leaving 1 unusable for gas sorption. On the other hand,
activation via solvent exchange not only preserves framework
integrity but yields a collapsed phase 1B, which exhibits gated
breathing with relatively high uptake of CO2. We have provided
direct structural evidence of the difference between 1B and 1C,
obtained by different activation methods. Our analysis of the
effects of repeated CO2 sorption-desorption cycling for 1 reveals
a systematic decline in sorption capacity, suggesting that cycling
effects may need to be investigated more routinely where MOFs,
and particularly flexible MOFs, are proposed as industrial
molecular storage and separation materials.
