Porous Materials Cavities on different molecular levels, from molecular containers to macroscopic porous materials, have many potential applications. In their Full Paper on page 7418 ff. , J. Zhang, C.‐Y. Su, and co‐workers describe an assembly approach to multiresponsive supramolecular gels by integrating photochromic metal–organic cages as predefined building units into the supramolecular gel skeleton, providing a new approach to create cavities in gels. Such supramolecular gels consisting of porous molecules may be developed as a new type of porous materials.
