A porous liquid derived from the surface functionalization of hollow silica spheres with an organosilane corona and a poly(ethylene glycol)‐tailed sulfonate canopy is reported by S. M. Mahurin, S. Dai, and co‐workers in their Communication on page 932 ff. Taking advantage of the liquid‐like polymeric matrix as a selective separation medium and the empty cavities as a pathway for enhanced gas transport, this porous liquid shows promising performance for gas separation.
