The simple reaction of a tris‐bpy ligand strand with FeCl 2 leads to the self‐assembly of the unique cation 1 , which consists of a torus formed by five ligands wrapped around five Fe II ions in a double‐helical fashion and closed around a central chloride ion. This structure, a fivefold circular helicate, is a helicate analogue of circular DNA.
