A diverse display of crystal structures in Cd(II) urocanate coordination compounds results from the tautomerism of the urocanate anion through control of the reaction conditions. Temperature, pressure, and even the metal ions themselves together influence this tautomerism to produce the enormous structural diversity of such metal coordination compounds. On page 536 ff., Q. Xu and co‐workers describe just three that can be obtained: the alternating 2D layer, the 3D alpha‐polonium network, and the four‐fold interpenetrated diamondoid network.
