Under an extreme pressure of 12 GPa, mesoporous coesite can be formed directly from periodic mesoporous silica without the aid of a template. The porous coesite particles obtained from SBA‐16 are single crystalline, with a pore size of about 4 nm and about 50 % porosity. The formation can be attributed to the kinetically controlled crystallization of a nonporous elastically strained glasslike silica intermediate (see scheme).
