Sticking together : The pore entrances of dye‐loaded green or red zeolite L crystals can be site‐specifically modified with either alkoxyamines or nitroxide radicals. Mild radical nitroxide exchange reactions of alkoxyamine‐terminated “green” zeolite crystals with nitroxide‐terminated “red” crystals leads to highly regular crystal chains that contain up to 15 covalently connected crystals with strictly alternating colors.
