Independent one‐, two‐, and even three‐dimensional nets interpenetrate each other in many solid‐state structures of polymeric, hydrogen‐bonded nets and coordination polymers. For example, the interpenetration of the adamantane units of two diamondlike nets is shown on the right. A detailed and systematic examination of many interpenetrating nets of this kind is made, and implications for crystal engineering are discussed.
