A swell idea! The guest‐responsive reversible swelling and fluorescence enhancement of a dynamic, microporous polymer network is presented. Guest‐induced breathing of hydrophobic pores imparts multi‐functional properties, such as super‐absorbency, phase‐selective swelling of oil from water and encapsulation of C 60 (see figure), to this soft micro‐porous organic polymer.
