A molecular wagon train composed of self‐complementary containers (shown schematically) results from the reaction of catecholate‐spacered bis‐1,3‐diketones with nickel acetate in the presence of an excess of cesium ions. The most remarkable feature of this assembly is the oxo‐bridged metal string running through it.
