Reaction of Ni(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O with H 4 BPTC (H 4 BPTC = Biphenyl‐3,3′,4,4′‐tetracarboxylic acid) produced a 3D hydrogen‐bonded framework complex 1 , not containing lattice solvents, with empirical formula [Ni(H 2 O) 6 ]·H 2 BPTC. The complex exhibits an interesting reversible crystal‐to‐amorphous transformation property unaccompanied by lattice solvents release/loading and shows selective and reversible chromic response to methanol.
