Nitrilotriacetic acid (H 3 NTA) reacts in the solid phase with zinc hydroxide (1:1) to form a 3D ladder‐like metal‐organic framework that forms wurtzite ZnO nanoparticles when heated above 600 °C. Complex 1 contains a 1D zig‐zag water chain. A mixed coordination network 2 is formed with excess Zn II hydroxide, which, on decomposition at about 500 °C, forms microwires of ZnO.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
