MOF zipper : Thermal removal of axial pyridine ligands from the non‐covalently pillared metal–organic framework [Zn 2 (camph) 2 (py) 2 ]⋅2EtOH prompts migration of alternate camphorate ligands to zip Zn centers from adjacent layers into continuous chains within the nonporous material [Zn 2 (camph) 2 ] (see scheme). Unzipping to generate new pillared, layered MOFs occurs on exposure to new axial ligands.
