In the past decades, great efforts have been devoted to the design and self‐assembly of discrete metal‐organic cages (MOCs). The further assembly of cages into advanced supramolecular materials is relatively less developed. Previously, we reported a water‐soluble Ti 4 L 6 cage (L=embonate), which has been applied as the starting material to realize coordination assembly with different metal ions through two‐step reaction. In this work, by employing the Ti 4 L 6 cages to assemble with Mn 2+ ions in the presence of piperazine and melamine, a Ti 4 L 6 −Mn 2 cage and a Z‐shaped Ti 4 L 6 −Mn 2 chain structure have been synthesized and structurally characterized, respectively.
