Interpenetrating organometallic polymer networks can be seen as a new type of supported metal catalysts. They are prepared by the generation of a cross‐linked organometallic copolymer (see figure) inside the macro‐ and microporous domains of organic and inorganic supports. Here, ESR analysis demonstrates that the microporous domains of such materials are accessible to molecules of substantial size.
