A conformationally flexible triazole‐carboxylic acid ligand derived from an L ‐amino acid, namely, 4 H ‐1,2,4‐triazol‐4‐yl‐acetic acid (αHGlytrz), has been exploited to synthesize a structurally diverse and functionally intriguing metal–organic framework with CuSiF 6 . The crystal structure reveals a novel single‐walled metal–organic nanotube (SWMONT), namely, {[Cu 3 (μ 3 ‐OH)(H 2 O) 3 (Glytrz) 3 ] ⋅ SiF 6 ⋅ 8 H 2 O ⋅ X} ∞ ( 1 ), (where X=disordered lattice water molecules) having a pore size as large as zeolites. Compound 1 was synthesized as crystals, as powder, or as layers by precipitation/electrodeposition. Mercury intrusion porosimetry demonstrates the ability of this material to store metallic mercury, after a pressure treatment, contrary to previous literature examples.
