Turned inside out : The construction of a peripheral 114‐membered macrocycle by a Grubbs‐catalyzed metathesis reaction facilitates the self‐assembly of a terpyridine‐based Fe II hexamer. The quantitative, base‐promoted removal of the Fe II centers allows the reversible disassembly of the metalated complex (see scheme, gray metal).
