Three‐dimensional MOF superstructures with hierarchical porosity can overcome the limitation of the intrinsic confined pore sizes of MOFs. Here a hydrophobic hierarchical metal–organic framework (HZIF‐8) containing unusual micro‐, meso‐, and macropores was synthesized by a facile template strategy. HZIF‐8 displayed significantly improved capacities for the adsorption of liquid oils, while maintaining low water uptake. More information can be found in the Full Paper by L. Wang, W. Shi, P. Cheng, et al. on page 3754.
