A macroporous polyHIPE was used as a monolithic support to grow crystals of the metal‐organic framework Cu 3 (btc) 2 (btc = benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxylate) directly within the open‐cell structure. Due to the creation of a microporous structure within a macroporous substrate, a material with a lung‐like porous structure is obtained (see picture: SEM micrograph of Cu 3 (btc) 2 crystals in polyHIPE).
