Porous organic cage molecules are fabricated into thin films and molecular‐sieving membranes. Cage molecules are solution cast on various substrates to form amorphous thin films, with the structures tuned by tailoring the cage chemistry and processing conditions. For the first time, uniform and pinhole‐free microporous cage thin films are formed and demonstrated as molecular‐sieving membranes for selective gas separation.
