The rational preparation of mesoporous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) represents a great challenge for their intrinsic resistance of crystalline lattice extension to form large cavities. In their Full Paper on page 9713 ff. , M. Du, C.‐S. Liu et al. report a mesoporous Zn II coordination framework designed by a new strategy of ligand symmetry modulation, which shows unique dual reactivity to transition and lanthanide metals via cation exchange or guest inclusion. Moreover, the modified MOFs materials possess enhanced gas uptake capacities and adjustable light emissions.
