Marjorie Lismont, Laurent Dreesen, and Stephan Wuttke review a new generation of metalo‐organic framework based photosensitizers for cancer therapy in article number 1606314. Precise spatial control is required to successfully include an organic photosensitizer as organic component of the framework without encountering aggregation and solubility issues. Overcoming of these obstacles could open new perspectives for photodynamic therapy of cancer.
