A bicontinuous cubic structure was revealed by electron crystallography on a large‐pore mesoporous silica with a cubic Ia $\bar 3$ d symmetry synthesized by using a triblock copolymer as a structure‐directing agent. Its reconstructed structure (picture, left) is composed of an enantiomeric pair of interwoven three‐dimensional mesoporous networks. Ordered complementary pores form interconnections between the two main channel systems at a special flat point of the G‐surface (right).
