Metal‐organic frameworks containing an organic fluorophore such as stilbene dicarboxylate emit prompt visible light when they interact with ionizing radiation (e.g., high‐energy protons or alpha particles). A completely new class of scintillation materials is created by this development, with the potential to rationally tailor properties for specific radiation detection applications.
