Photoresponsive metal–organic frameworks (PMOFs) are of interest for tailorable CO2 adsorption. However, modulation of CO2 adsorption on PMOFs is based on steric hindrance or structural change owing to weak interactions between CO2 and active sites. It is challenging to fabricate PMOFs with strong b...
