Use the Force : A force field for the MIL‐53(Cr) framework was derived and validated by molecular dynamics simulations. This approach allows the “breathing” of the framework in the presence of CO 2 to be captured and gives insight into the structural switching mechanism from a narrow‐ to a large‐pore form (see picture). This force field can be used directly in studies of many guest molecules and, with a minimum adjustment, for other MOF systems.
