Patterned metal‐organic framework, ZIF‐8 thin films can be generated by using standard photolithography or via selective growth with the aid of microcontact printing. The alternate chemical deposition (of ZIF‐8) and physical deposition (of metallic materials) allow the insertion of metal layers in the ZIF‐8 film that could serve as multifunctional chemical sensors for vapors and gases.
