Unfortunately, in our analysis an incorrect expression for a key formula has been used, which affects equations (3) and (4). Equation (3) should read:

Equation (4) should read:

In consequence, the correct value for the diffusivity of pyridine in HKUST-I amounts to 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁸ m² s⁻¹ and the correct value for the activation energy for diffusion is 0.71 eV (instead of 0.78 eV).

These corrections do not change any of the conclusions presented in the original paper, the agreement with the calculations is actually slightly better than before.
