Two air and moisture‐stable Zn I ‐containing metal–organic frameworks {[Zn I 8 Zn II 3 (H 2 O) x (HL) 12 ](OH) 2 ⋅ 13 H 2 O} n ( x =6, 1 ; x =2, 2 ) (HL=tetrazole monoanion) with high‐nuclearity Zn cages were first prepared by combining Zn II ions and multicenter‐bonded [Zn I 8 ] clusters with cubic aromaticity. The resulting frameworks were analyzed experimentally and theoretically. Interestingly, 1 can behave as a potential luminescent probe to detect toxic Cr VI ions in water.
