Over the last 10 years or so, the interest and number of high‐pressure studies has increased substantially. One area of growth within this niche field is in the study of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs or coordination polymers). Here we present a review on the subject, where we look at the structural effects of both non‐porous and porous MOFs, and discuss their mechanical and chemical response to elevated pressures.
