Upon confinement of a trinuclear gold(I) pyrazolate complex in a hexagonal silicate channel, the luminescence center formed by a Au I –Au I metallophilic interaction is not only protected against thermal disruption but also strongly encouraged to self‐recover from a heat‐induced structural damage. This nanoscopic template effect is negligible for a lamellar silica framework.
