The peculiar spongelike behavior of the nanoporous crystal, composed from the self‐assembly of copper( II ) sulfate and 1,3‐bis(4‐pyridyl)propane, is derived from its unusual topology: an architecture comprising two different structural motifs. The supramolecular catenation (see the picture) features ribbons‐of‐rings interpenetrating and entangling (4,4) layers.
