A new family of stable layered organic–inorganic materials has been prepared, in one‐step solvothermal process. They are based on an ordered nickel cluster‐type nanoribbons separated from each other by specific alkyl (heptyl‐ or dodecyl‐) arylic mono‐carboxylate moieties acting as molecular spacers, perpendicular to the 1D inorganic chains. These organic spacers contain hydrocarbon tails with different length which control the separation level between inorganic 1D sub‐units, inhibiting the 3D growth of conventional DUT‐8‐type metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The lamellar nature of the materials formed was studied and confirmed by different characterization techniques, showing the structural location of individual organic and inorganic building units. They have been successfully used as a long‐lasting biodegradable and water‐proof materials for controlled release of chemicals, such as pheromones for sustainable treatment of insect plagues.
