Molecular Crystal Sponge for Extraordinary NH <sub>3</sub> Capture
powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses, coupled with modeling, unequivocally decipher the charge-assisted hydrogen bonding between ammonia and carboxylic acid moieties in driving stepwise pore expansion. This work thus provides a conceptual blueprint of engineering soft molecular crystals for driving selective ammonia capture and energy-efficient ammonia production.
