Infinite pores! Three structurally and topologically distinct infinite coordination‐polymer (ICP) materials are synthesized from 1,12‐dihydroxycarbonyl‐1,12‐dicarba‐ closo ‐dodecaborane and Co II salts (see image). All three have markedly different porosities and, consequently, different N 2 , H 2 , and CO 2 uptakes. This work emphasizes the importance of morphological control in tailoring the properties of ICP structures.
