A molecular Solomon knot was isolated from a dynamic library of molecular knots by kinetically controlled crystallization. By incorporating mixed‐metal templates into the usual protocol employed in the synthesis of Borromean Rings, J. F. Stoddart and co‐workers obtained a molecular Solomon link as the only crystalline product under the reaction conditions described and were able to determine its X‐ray crystal structure, as they report in their Communication on page 218 ff.
