The function of allosteric enzymes can be activated or inhibited through binding of specific effector molecules. Herein, we describe how the skeletal deformation, pore configuration, and ultimately adsorptive behavior of a dynamic metal-organic framework (MOF), (Me NH )[In(atp)] (in which atp=2-aminoterephthalate), are controlled by the allocation and orientation of its counter ions triggered by the inclusion/removal of different guest molecules. The power of such allosteric control in MOFs is highlighted through the optimization of the hydrocarbon separation performance by achieving multiple pore configurations but without altering the chemical composition.
变构酶的功能可以通过结合特定的效应分子来激活或抑制。在此，我们描述了动态金属有机骨架（MOF）（MeNH）[In(atp)]（其中 atp=2-氨基对苯二甲酸）的骨架变形、孔结构以及最终的吸附行为如何通过其抗衡离子的分配和取向来控制，而这是由不同客体分子的包含/去除触发的。通过实现多种孔结构而不改变化学组成来优化烃类分离性能，突出了这种变构控制在 MOF 中的作用。
