Two new four‐connected metal imidazolates with an unprecedented four‐connected topology have been synthesized and structurally characterized. TIF‐1Zn (see figure) exhibits permanent microporosity and has high thermal stability. It features unusual topological features, such as 3‐ and 16‐rings and multidimensional large pore channels, which underlines the rich synthetic and structural chemistry of imidazolate‐based porous frameworks that are yet to be explored.
