This can be used to collect carbon monoxide upon contact.
So what can you use to stick carbon monoxide to something when it collides? Steel? No, because the charge in steel is not the same as the iron in
hemoglobin. So, blood will do. But something more convenient be metal-organic framework.
However, the issue is selectivity, you want something that will stick CO but not O2 or N2.
Similarly idea used for catalytic converters.

You know I attended a seminar last night on metal-organic frameworks. Was a professor from U of Chicago. His area was in MOFs for nanomedicine and
such. He didn't specialize in environmental applications for MOFs, so he said he wasn't the expert to my question. But was skeptical about it being
utilized some day as a gas trapper. But said scientists are looking into MOFs for absorbing nerve gas in the body.

Nickel or cobalt metal react with CO at moderate temperatures,
with decomposition back to metal and CO at higher temperatures
Be aware that most metal-CO compounds are volatile and VERY toxic.
