In any process, the heat exchanged is an essential property required in its development. Whilst the work related to structural transitions of some flexible metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been quantified and linked with potential applications such as molecular springs or shock absorbers, the heat related to such transitions has never been directly measured. This has now been carried out with MIL‐53(Al) using specifically devised calorimetry experiments. We project the importance of these heats in devices such as molecular springs or dampers.
