Hydrogen‐bonding interactions between a benzotri(imidazole) derivative and a polymerizable alkoxybenzoic acid result in the formation of a supramolecular hexagonal columnar liquid crystal. Light‐induced polymerization followed by removal of the benzotri(imidazole) core produces a porous polymer with hexagonal channels (see scheme).
