The authors provide gas sorption, spectroscopic, and computational studies sup-porting that CO2 chemisorption in γ-cylodextrin-based metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) occurs via HCO3− formation at nucleophilic OH− sites within the framework pores, rather than via previously proposed pathways involving carbonic acid or alkyl carbonate formation.
