Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>MOF zipper</bold>: Thermal removal of axial pyridine ligands from the non‐covalently pillared metal–organic framework [Zn₂(camph)₂(py)₂]⋅2EtOH prompts migration of alternate camphorate ligands to zip Zn centers from adjacent layers into continuous chains within the nonporous material [Zn₂(camph)₂] (see scheme). Unzipping to generate new pillared, layered MOFs occurs on exposure to new axial ligands.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1tsnwq0w" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
