Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) demonstrate a wide variety of behavior in their response to pressure, including anomalous mechanical properties, negative linear compressibility, pressure‐induced crystal‐to‐crystal and crystal‐to‐amorphous structural transitions. The discovery of framework materials combining novel pressure responses and high mechanical stability is key in the quest for applications of MOFs at the industrial level.
