Thermal dehydration results in the solid‐state supramolecular conversion of the helical coordination polymer [{[Cu(sala)] 2 (H 2 O)} n ] into the chiral three‐dimensional covalent open network [{Cu(sala)} n ] (shown schematically). X‐ray crystallography reveals that hydrogen bonding plays a key role in this process. H 2 sala= N ‐(2‐hydroxybenzyl)‐ L ‐alanine
