Host‐lattice rearrangements in clathrates as a result of sorptive gas exchange are reported for the first time. Unlike any other clathrates, those produced by the recrystallization of bis(9‐hydroxyfluoren‐9‐yl)thieno‐[3,2‐b]thiohene from ethanol and n ‐propanol exhibit guest‐responsive channel‐type cavities: their structure differs for the guest ethanol and propanol. The structures, lattice rearrangements and guest displacement of the system are discussed.
