In the groove: Radical polymerization of divinylbenzenes (DVBs) in the one‐dimensional nanochannels of porous coordination polymers allows linearly extended topotactic polymerization without cross‐linking (see picture). The main factors that influence this polymerization are the channel size and host framework flexibility.
