Two different porous hydrogen‐bonded networks are formed by self‐assembly of the radially substituted host 1 . In the network of type A , formed by 1 ⋅4 Et 2 O, all OH groups of 1 are involved in hydrogen bonding, and the molecular sheets are stacked without translation to generate extended channels that accommodate the Et 2 O molecules. Four OH groups of 1 are involved in the type B network of 1 ⋅4 DMF, and lateral translation of the sheets in an ABAB sequence generates large chambers, each of which contains four DMF molecules.
