A complete structure and composition evolution of a pillared‐paddlewheel metal‐organic framework was achieved using a combination of solvent‐assisted linker exchange (SALE) and node transmetalation. In this example, each building unit – the di‐topic carboxylate strut, the di‐topic nitrogen‐based pillar, and the di‐zinc node – of the original metal‐organic framework is replaced in sequential fashion to produce a nickel‐based daughter metal‐organic framework with entirely different components.
