Smart adsorbents with target‐specific active sites for selective CO 2 capture are described by X.‐Q. Liu, L.‐B. Sun, and co‐workers in their Communication on page 6600 ff. Amines were introduced into photoresponsive metal–organic frameworks (PMOFs) as active sites. The cis/trans isomerization of azobenzene motifs triggered by irradiation with UV/Vis light lead to exposure/shelter of the amines and modulation of CO 2 adsorption on these active sites.
