Small, EarlyView.This work reports a family of microporous, self‐assembled tetrahedral coordination cages that efficiently capture iodine, polyiodides, and methyl iodide from vapor, aqueous, and organic media. The cages display exceptional uptake capacities, rapid kinetics, and high selectivity, enabling the first dynamic vapor‐phase iodine capture by coordination ...
