How does it fit? The one‐dimensional coordination polymer [Ag 4 L 3 {O 2 C(CF 2 ) 3 CF 3 } 4 (EtOH) 2 ] n ( 1 ; L=tetramethylpyrazine, see scheme) eliminates coordinated ethanol in an intramolecular substitution reaction. The reaction occurs in a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal transformation and leads to extrusion of ethanol from the nonporous crystals. The reverse reaction involving uptake of ethanol vapor has been verified using X‐ray powder diffraction.
