Encaged ! Three‐terminal interlocked molecular species were obtained by dynamic (2+3) assembly of a cagelike macro‐bicycle around a trifurcated trispyridinium π guest. The complex is stabilized by π–π interactions and multiple [CH⋅⋅⋅O] and [CH⋅⋅⋅N] interactions. Uncomplexed guest molecules cocrystallize alongside the threaded complexes in the solid state, thus giving extended π‐stacked columns.
