Mind the gap! The titanosilicate zeolite ETS‐10 contains TiO 3 2− molecular wires (see picture). A reliable method has been developed to synthesize high‐quality ETS‐10 crystals of various sizes. Measurements on the crystals allow the dependence of the band‐gap energy on the length of the TiO 3 2− wires to be elucidated.
