Small, EarlyView.This study reports a near‐infrared emitting ionic aerogel composed of cationic cyclometalated Pt(II) moieties linked by Si─O─Si bonds. The resulting porous hybrid material enables the selective detection and recovery of Au(III) ions from mixed‐metal solutions. Owing to its reversible luminescent response and thiourea‐assisted gold recovery, the aerogel
