Elastic anisotropy in hybrids: First‐principles DFT calculations and single‐crystal nanoindentation experiments reveal the anisotropic mechanical behavior of a novel hybrid framework material that is akin to ZnO (see picture). Possible causes of discrepancies between the existing theories and experiments are discussed.
