Solid‐State Reactivity In their Communication on page 11948 ff., Y. Du, J . J. Vittal and co‐workers report a stepwise solid‐state structural transformation of a linear 1D coordination polymer (CP) to a 3D CP via a layered structure in a controlled manner, assisted by thermal desolvation and [2+2] cycloaddition reaction. Thermogravimetry, XAFS, and NOESY NMR experiments have been employed in the absence of single crystals to follow the course of the reaction. Multidimensional architectures, which are otherwise inaccessible by the routine self‐assembly process, have been achieved through green chemistry. The SG50 depicted in the background of the image signifies Singapore's 50 year celebrations.
