Threads of cesium ions can be generated through supramolecular coordination chemistry in a one‐pot synthesis. The cesium ions are threaded together, like in a pearl necklace, with surprisingly short interatomic distances. The figure shows the space‐filling model of the dicationic repeating unit of the 1D coordination polymer (left) and the cesium threads alone in the unit cell (right).
