Opening light : Two‐dimensional pores are formed by the self‐assembly of azobenzene‐functionalized triangular building blocks on graphite at the liquid–solid interface. These pores can selectively host a guest molecule. The pore size can be reversibly changed by irradiation at different wavelength which changes the number of guest molecules that are adsorbed (see scheme).
