The encapsulation of single plasmonic nanoparticles within ZIF‐8 is presented by I. Pastoriza‐Santos, J. Pérez‐Juste, and co‐workers on page 3935. Different surfactant‐stabilised plasmonic nanoparticles were encapsulated within ZIF‐8 nanocrystals. The plasmonic core allowed the study of the transport of different guests inside the ZIF‐8 shell by means of surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The flexibility of the ZIF‐8 shell is demonstrated through the diffusion of molecules larger than the nominal aperture size.
