A novel metal–organic framework (MOF) was fabricated by spontaneous K + ‐induced supramolecular self‐assembly with the embedded tripodal ligand units. When the 3D ligand was loaded onto Fe 3 O 4 @mSiO 2 core‐shell nanoparticles, it could effectively separate K + ions from a mixture of Na + , K + , Mg 2+ , and Ca 2+ ions through nanoparticle‐assisted MOF crystallization into a Fe 3 O 4 @mSiO 2 @MOF hybrid material. Excess potassium ions could be extracted because of the specific cation–π interaction between K + and the aromatic cavity of the MOF, leading to enhanced separation efficiency and suggesting a new application for MOFs.
