SIFSIX‐14‐Cu‐i belongs to a family of metal–organic materials (MOMs) with exciting gas‐sorption properties and high technological impact. CO 2 ‐adsorption isotherms are reported for SIFSIX‐14‐Cu‐i revealing very high uptake combined with CO 2 selectivity. Importantly, the isotherms show distinct inflection points that result from CO 2 ‐induced structural transformations and that can be modulated by the CO 2 uptake quantity. The observed behaviour directly relates to the unique structure of this azopyridine‐stabilised compound and gives rise to the highest known working capacity for CO 2 uptake between 0.1 and 1 bar. Furthermore, the synthetic procedures for the reversible transformation of SIFSIX‐14‐Cu‐i to a non‐porous hydrated form are highlighted, and exploit the reversible porous to non‐porous phase transition for instantaneous, moisture‐mediated CO 2 release.
