A new methodology to effectively modify the selectivity of zeolites toward a target metal ion via surface molecular imprinting has been developed. A stepwise methodology in which the template complex is assembled inside the zeolite pore in a piece‐by‐piece fashion is shown (see Figure). Tailored zeolites with surface functionalization show great promise for the realization of shape‐selective catalysis.
