Free vacancies: A robust and porous metal–organic framework material with unique 4‐connected self‐catenating structure of {85⋅10} topology was synthesized. The structure features empty bipyridine metal‐chelating sites that can be doped with copper cations in a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal post‐s...
