![The molecule (E)‐(5‐(3‐anthracen‐9‐yl‐allylidene)‐2,2‐dimethyl‐[1,3] dioxane‐4,6‐dione) ((E)‐AYAD) undergoes E→Z photoisomerization in the crystal state, which drives a dramatic physical transformation characterized by a large volume expansion, loss of crystallinity, and high porosity. This photoinduced crystal‐to‐gel transition can be used to entrap superparamagnetic nanoparticles from the surrounding liquid.](/sites/default/files/styles/form_preview/public/Extreme%20Makeover%20Angewadte%20Chemie%202019.jpg?itok=Hhab-cO0)
