Two independent and interpenetrating two‐dimensional networks , whose outstanding structural features are the polyrotaxane columns of the unprecedented type shown on the right, are found in the coordination polymer [Zn(bix) 2 (NO 3 ) 2 ]·4.5 H 2 O. This compound is only the third example of a 2‐D rotaxane; the other two were just recently reported.
