A unique hexacarboxylate linker was prepared on the basis of an interlocked [2]rotaxane motif. The linker contains four carboxylate groups attached to a rigid, H‐shaped axle and two carboxylate units appended to a crown ether wheel. The resulting Zn II ‐based metal–organic framework material has a unique lattice, in which three independent 3‐periodic frameworks (threefold interpenetration) are interconnected only by virtue of the threading of their individual components in the rotaxane linker.
