Gérard Férey, a leader in the field of solid‐state chemistry and a pioneer of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), passed away on August 19, 2017 in Paris. Férey developed both open‐framework templated metal fluorophosphates (the ULM‐ n series) and a series of topical porous MOFs (the MIL‐ n series). He also created the automated assembly of secondary building units methodology to predict the structure of new porous solids.
