Nanoparticles have become a vital part of a vast number of established processes and products; they are used as catalysts, in cosmetics, and even by the pharmaceutical industry. Despite this, however, the reliable and reproducible production of functional nanoparticles for specific applications remains a great challenge. In this respect, reticular chemistry provides methods for connecting molecular building blocks to nanoparticles whose chemical composition, structure, porosity, and functionality can be controlled and tuned with atomic precision. Thus, reticular chemistry allows for the translation of the green chemistry principle of atom economy to functional nanomaterials, giving rise to the multifunctional efficiency concept. This principle encourages the design of highly active nanomaterials by maximizing the number of integrated functional units while minimizing the number of inactive components. State‐of‐the‐art research on reticular nanoparticles—metal‐organic frameworks, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks—is critically assessed and the beneficial features and particular challenges that set reticular chemistry apart from other nanoparticle material classes are highlighted. Reviewing the power of reticular chemistry, it is suggested that the unique possibility to efficiently and straightforwardly synthesize multifunctional nanoparticles should guide the synthesis of customized nanoparticles in the future. The discovery of reticular chemistry has unexpectedly shifted the focus of functional nanoparticle design away from size, shape, and surface characteristics toward straightforward direct integration of functional building units into the nanomaterial. The realization of this potential together with systematic material characterization can revolutionize nanoscience to enable groundbreaking advances in different areas of the life sciences and catalysis.
