Figure S1. (A) and (B) show the pore channel structures in the diameter of 4.5 Å for ZU-32, and in the pore window size of 3.0 Å for ZU-33, respectively, along the c axes. The different nets are highlighted in gray and purple for clarity. Figure S2. (A) and (B) present the crystal structure of ZU-33 with pyridine ring tilting ca. 30 º after the solvents removed viewed from different directions. The strong C-H F hydrogen bonding induced the pyridine titling with the H-F distance of 2.35 Å. Color code: F, red; Ge, dark cyan; H, gray-25%; Cu, pink; N, blue; C, the carbon atoms in different nets are highlighted in blue and green color for clarity.
Figure S3. (A) and (B) present the solvent-accessible pore surface structures of ZU-32 and ZU-33, respectively, along the c axes. They show different pore channels. For ZU-32, the pore channels are with larger pore aperture size of 4.5 Å, and ZU-33 exhibits pore window size of 3.0 Å and cavity size of 4.4 Å. Figure S4.
