Novel porous networks have been synthesized by application of a gate pressure of CO 2 or exposure to moisture to a series of zeomimetic [M(5‐fluoro‐pyrimidin‐2‐olate) 2 ] n ⋅ 2.5 n H 2 O coordination networks (M=Co, Zn) to induce a reversible structural change from a non‐porous phase to a porous one. An additional structural transformation into a dense layered phase is promoted by heating. In their Full Paper on page 9890 ff. , S. Galli, E. Barea et al. show how X‐ray powder thermodiffractometry coupled to additional analytical methods can be used to address the observed phase transformations drawing a coherent picture of this complex soft material.
