One‐Dimensional Channels Encapsulated in Supramolecular Networks Constructed of Zinc(II), Manganese(II), or Nickel(II) Atoms with 3‐(Carboxymethyl)‐2, 7‐dimethyl‐3H‐benzo[d]imidazole‐5‐carboxylic Acid

Complexes <jats:bold>1</jats:bold> and <jats:bold>2</jats:bold> display a remarkable 3D network with 1D hydrophilic channels. Complexes <jats:bold>3</jats:bold> and <jats:bold>4</jats:bold> are isostructural and exhibit a 3D structure encapsulating 1D 24‐membered ring microporous channels. The UV/Vis and fluorescent spectra were measured to characterize complexes <jats:bold>1</jats:bold>–<jats:bold>4</jats:bold>. The thermal stability of complexes <jats:bold>2</jats:bold>–<jats:bold>4</jats:bold> were also examined.</jats:p>
