The polymer network : The reaction of quinine (QN) with CuI under solvothermal, as well as liquid‐assisted grinding, conditions afforded a unique 1D homochiral coordination polymer {[Cu 4 (μ 3 ‐I) 4 (QN) 2 ][Cu 3 (μ 3 ‐I) 2 (μ 2 ‐I)(QN) 2 ] 2 } n , containing both triangular Cu 3 I 3 and cubane Cu 4 I 4 clusters as connecting nodes (see scheme). Van der Waals interactions between the adjacent 1D polymer chains lead to an extended quasi‐honeycomb homochiral pillared 3D network with solvent‐free 1D channels.
