A fluorescent metal–organic cage equipped with cationic panels, which is soluble and stable in water and selectively binds anions in water over their neutral congeners, is presented by J. R. Nitschke and co‐workers in their Communication on page 4200 ff. The zinc(II)‐based cage detects mono‐ and poly‐phosphoric anions, including nucleotides, at micromolar concentrations in aqueous solution, while providing a fluorometric response.
