The processability of metal–organic frameworks presents a major challenge in their further application. In their Communication on page 4259 ff., X. Feng, Bo Wang, and co‐workers introduce a photoinduced postsynthetic polymerization (PSP) strategy to covalently link crystals of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) by polymer chains. The PSP approach is a facile and mild method to prepare flexible and stand‐alone MOF‐based membranes.
