Triplex‐rated : Discrete self‐assembly of Fe III ions with octahedral coordination geometry occurs within triple‐stranded artificial DNA with hydroxypyridone nucleobases as metal ligands through the formation of nonplanar base triplets. Such a novel structural motif in DNA could lead to programmable alignment of six‐coordinate transition metals.
