Continuous negative-to-positive tuning of thermal expansion achieved by controlled gas sorption in porous coordination frameworks

Achieving control over the thermomechanical properties of functional materials is desirable, yet remains highly challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate continuous negative-to-positive tuning of thermal expansion in two Prussian blue analogues, by varying the concentration of adsorbed CO2.
