Finding appropriate stimuli for controlling the breathing behavior of flexible metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is highly challenging. Herein, we report the solvent‐induced changes in the particle size and stability of different breathing phases of the MIL‐53 series, a group of flexible MOFs. A water...
