Porous coordination polymers with reversible phase‐transition (RTP‐PCPs) behaviors have been summarized and classified based on the different stimuli sources, and corresponding typical examples introduced. Examples of their applications in gas separation, chemical sensors, guest molecule encapsulation, and energy storage are also presented. Finally, some challenges and potential opportunities of RTP‐PCPs in the future are discussed. Considering the numerous recent progress of RPT‐PCPs under the collative efforts from materials chemists, theorists, and engineers, a bright future for this exciting field may be on the way.
