Flexible metal–organic frameworks: Frontiers in dynamic pore engineering for adsorptive separation

characterization techniques and theoretical modeling, as employed by scientists, in elucidating the microscopic mechanisms underlying dynamic phase transitions. Finally, the review provides a forward-thinking perspective on the challenges associated with transitioning FMOFs from laboratory research to industrial application. These challenges encompass green synthesis methods, shaping processes, and ensuring long-term stability, all of which require concerted efforts from the research community. By addressing these issues, this review aims to serve as a blueprint for the design of next-generation intelligent separation materials, paving the way for their widespread adoption and impact in broader scientific and industrial arenas.
