Porous metal–organic materials [1] have attracted considerable attention in recent years because of their potential applications in many areas including gas storage,[2] separation,[3] and catalysis.[4] Because high framework stability is essential for many practical applications, the quest for metal–organic materials with rigid frameworks has been a subject of intense research. Since the first reports of metal–organic frameworks with permanent porosity,[5] many metal–organic frameworks have been reported to have stable porous structures; however, only a handful of these materials have a high surface area,[6] which is another important virtue of this class of materials. There is also growing interest in metal–organic materials with flexible and dynamic frameworks,[7] in particular, those that reversibly change their structures and properties in response to external stimuli as they may find applications, for example, in sensors.[8] However, porous materials that have both high framework stability and framework flexibility are rare.[9] Herein we report a novel metal–organic framework with permanent porosity and a high surface area, which also shows unusual guest-dependent dynamic behavior: the framework shrinks upon guest inclusion and expands upon guest release as proved unequivocally by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. These changes are fully reversible and depend on the nature of guests. Heating a dimethylformamide (DMF) solution of Zn (NO3) 2, terephthalic acid (or 1, 4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, H2bdc) and 1, 4-diazabicyclo [2.2. 2] octane (dabco) at 1108C for 2days gave the crystalline product [Zn2 (1, 4-bdc) 2 (dabco)]· 4 DMF· 1/2H2O (1· 4 DMF· 1/2H2O) in over 80% yield.[10] The structure of 1· 4 DMF· 1/2H2O was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and the phase purity of the bulk material was independently confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and elemental analysis. The framework in 1· 4 DMF· 1/2H2O is composed of dinuclear Zn2 units with a paddle wheel structure, which are bridged by 1, 4-bdc dianions to form a distorted 2D square-grid {Zn2 (1, 4-bdc) 2}. The axial sites of the Zn2 paddle wheels are occupied by dabco, which act as pillars to extend the 2D layers into a 3D structure (Scheme 1). The overall topology of the framework in 1· 4 DMF· 1/2H2O is best described as a compressed primitive cubic (α-Po) net (Figure1a). The dabco pillars are disordered along the
