In triple time : A step‐by‐step assembly of three homochiral micro‐ and mesoporous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) from a predesigned triple‐stranded heptametallic helicate bearing six free pyridine groups has been achieved. The geometry, symmetry, and enantiopurity of the helicate are efficiently amplified in the infinite frameworks. Furthermore, the MOFs can encapsulate guest molecules (see example).
