In the past years, porous media have become a major focus of materials science, due to their versatile properties, such as high surface area, low specific weight, high surface functionality, and the ability to customize their surface properties. Applications of porous media range from catalysis to separation media to gas storage. All of the mentioned applications involve the introduction of guest molecules into the pores. For efficient application of the materials, it is essential to know the behavior of these introduced molecules in the confined state. Solid state (ss) NMR gives a unique insight into the dynamics, the guest‐host interactions, and the binding sites of porous materials and is probably the most powerful characterization method for probing a huge variety of real‐life systems. Recent results in research of microporous zeolites and periodically mesoporous silica (PMS) materials using NMR will be highlighted.
