Opening and closing of the stable, molecular‐sized cages 1 (M Pd, Pt; L 1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) can be efficiently controlled by ligand exchange. Simply mixing the preorganized cavitand with the appropriate metal complex precursor provides 1 quantitatively in one step. One triflate ion is encapsulated in the self‐assembly process.
