A new dimension to nickel structures : A three‐dimensional nickel glutarate, [Ni 20 {(C 5 H 6 O 4 ) 20 (H 2 O) 8 }]⋅40 H 2 O, has been prepared under hydrothermal conditions. Its structure, solved from X‐ray powder diffraction, is constructed from interconnected 20‐rings, which form a remarkable open network of crossing channels (see picture). It is porous, and exhibits a ferromagnetic long‐range ordering below 4 K.
