Room to breathe : An efficient method for the synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework‐7 (ZIF‐7) in ethanol/water at room temperature is reported. The ZIF‐7 undergoes a reverse‐phase transition from large pore (lp)‐phase to narrow pore (np)‐phase under heat treatment and from np‐phase back to lp‐phase in ethanol solution.
