Very large free voids (more than 50 % of the cell volume) and interesting stuctural motifs are found in the 2D and 3D frameworks assembled using AgNO 3 and 5,10,15,20‐tetra(4‐pyridyl)porphyrin (H 2 tpyp) building blocks. The robust 3D network of [Ag 8 (Zn II tpyp) 7 (H 2 O) 2 ](NO 3 ) 8 is particularly fascinating in that it exhibits a unique self‐penetrating topology (see figure) and can be reversibly desolvated.
