“…12 In spite of their importance, few attempts have been made to determine the kinetics of the gate effect 11. 13 Herein, we present the synthesis, crystal structure, and gas sorption properties of a flexible PCP, {[Cd(bpndc)(bpy)]} n ( 1 ; bpndc=benzophenone‐4,4′‐dicarboxylate, bpy=4,4′‐bipyridyl), which shows a large difference in P go between O 2 , Ar, and N 2 (Figure 1). To understand the mechanism behind the differences between similar gases, we treat this phenomenon with the aid of a new diffusion model in which adsorption proceeds through the formation of an intermediate.…”
