A new inverted cucurbituril, namely inverted hexamethylcucurbit[3,3]uril ( i Me 6 Q[3,3]), has been isolated and characterized. It incorporates a single inverted un‐substituted glycoluril unit oriented towards the interior of the cavity, shows good solubility in water and organic solvents (DMSO), and exhibits different selectivity for guests to those of i Q[6] and other known Q[6]s.
