Abstract

A specific bifunctional molecule containing amidine is prepared to construct a CO₂-responsive surface via molecular self-assembly. The smart surface undergoes CO₂-responsive switching of surface charges and wettability, leading to distinctively selective adsorption of hydrophobic/hydrophilic molecules.
