Crystal jumping behavior of a hydrogen‐bonded organic framework (HOF) is induced by collective molecular motion. In their Research Article on page 10345, T. Takeda et al. show a HOF composed of a twisted π framework of tetra[2,3]thienylene tetracarboxylic acid, which forms unique six‐fold interpenetrated diamondoid assemblies. Desolvation of the guest THF molecule in the channel of the HOF structure induces collective fluctuation of the twisted π framework, resulting in the crystal jumping behavior. The mechanism is schematically presented in the picture.
