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.
