Aluminosilicate zeolites such as UTD‐1 (structure shown) belong to a family of nanoporous inorganic materials that find utility in catalysis, separation, and ion exchange. During the last decade, the rate of discovery of new open‐framework materials based, for example, on phosphates, sulfides, halides, nitrides, and coordination compounds has increased dramatically. The synthesis, structures, and properties of this remarkable class of materials are reviewed.
