Well‐defined mesoporous materials can be synthesized using template strategies, which resemble macroscopic metal casting processes. Templates that preform the shapes of the pores, like casting‐cores, are introduced into a liquid system and subsequently embedded by hardening of the solvent. In the Figure the formation of a mesoporous solid via complexation of a linear macromolecule is schematically represented.
