Hydrogen‐bonding and metal‐ion coordination are utilized to assemble a nanoporous crystal lattice. In the initial step of the assembly process, tecton 1 (4b,5,7,7a‐tetrahydro‐4b,7aepiminomethanoimino‐6 H ‐imidazo[4,5‐ f ][1,10]phenanthroline‐6,13‐dione) forms an octahedrally coordinated secondary building block with Fe II , which in the final step assembles through hydrogen‐bonding interactions to a nanoporous network. The secondary building blocks hydrogen‐bond such that ribbons with two‐membered channels are formed. Sheets are generated through hydrogen‐bonding of the ribbons, which results in four‐membered channels. In the crystal, the sheets are stacked parallel to each other, which results in a three‐dimensional porosity.
