Elastic metal–organic materials (MOMs) capable of multiple stimuli‐responsiveness based on dual‐stress and thermally responsive triple‐helix coordination polymers are presented. The strong metal‐coordination linkage and the flexibility of organic linkers in these MOMs, rather than the 4 Å stacking i...
