A dual computational/experimental approach enabled ranking of the performance of a series of MOFs for α-pinene capture in terms of affinity and uptake. UiO-66(Zr) is demonstrated to be a good candidate for adsorbing α-pinene at sub-ppm levels, while MIL-125(Ti)-NH2 shows ideal performances for abating α-pinene at concentrations encountered in indoor air.
