The effect of concentration, organic co-solvent, and salt modulators on the crystallisation of a hydrogen bonded framework was studied. The framework contains ∼1.4 nm wide channels and contains a diazobenzene based dicarboxylate anion. Light-induced cis/trans switching of this anion was also used to control crystallisation.
