On page 2572 Arri Priimagi, Pierangelo Metrangolo, Giuseppe Resnati, and co‐workers report the first light‐responsive halogen‐bonded polymer systems and highlight the remarkable potential of halogen bonding in fundamental studies of photoresponsive azobenzene‐containing polymers. Because of its directionality and tuneable interaction strength, halogen bonding is a viable tool to design high‐performance supramolecular polymers for holographic inscription of surface relief gratings (SRG).
