Three‐dimensions from one : One‐dimensional iron arsenate oxalate is prepared, and shown to be reactive, giving rise to a two‐ and a mixed‐valent (Fe III /Fe II ) three‐dimensional iron arsenate structure (see picture). The sequential crystallization provides evidence for the building up of open architectures from low to higher dimensional structures, demonstrating the “life of a chemical system”.
