A family of bamboo‐like metal–organic nanotubes consisting of in situ synthesized macromolecular blocks (MB) is reported. The MBs are composed of six fac ‐(CO) 3 Re cores, one benzene‐1,2,3,4,5,6‐hexaolate plate, and six pyridine‐derivative pillar ligands, which have a doubly tri‐legged geometry and can be mutually assembled, piece by piece. This entire system is characterized as a simple but precise supramolecular complexation of these macromolecular blocks and further introduces an archetypal approach to systematically constructing a tunable form of dissectible molecular bamboo tubes.
