Metal–organic rotaxane frameworks (MORFs) attracted much attention in the past years for construction of intelligent functional materials. Herein, a one‐pot synthesis is reported of a three‐dimensional (3D) cucurbit[7]uril (Q[7])‐based MORF under hydrothermal conditions, namely Q[7]‐MORF‐1 , formed by encapsulating the anionic benzoate moieties of the tricarboxylate ligand into the cavity of Q[7]. Furthermore, Q[7]‐MORF‐1 shows dual‐capture capacity for iodine and K + selectively among the alkali metal ions. The captured molecular iodine is included in the cavity of Q[7] through halogen‐bonding interactions and the K + cations are positioned at the carbonyl port of the Q[7] through K−O coordination interactions.
