In a one‐pot reaction from 15 components , a tetra‐hedral host‐guest compound forms by self‐assembly. Its tripod–iron( II ) groups are the corners of a tetrahedron (depicted on the right). The edges of the tetrahedron are bridged by 1,2‐dinitrile ligands, and a BF 4 −ion is encapsulated in the tetrahedral cavity.
