Brønsted acid sites partially confined at the intercept of micro‐ and mesopores in two‐dimensional MFI zeolite nanosheets are effective for C=C bond‐coupling and ring‐closure reactions that transform light aldehydes into aromatic compounds. In their Communication on page 12886 ff., Y.‐H. Chin et al. establish the roles of these sites and their environment in catalytic aromatization, and of interlamellar mesopores in the efficient transport and removal of products.
