Organic cages are fascinating because of their well‐defined 3D cavities, excellent stability, and accessible post‐modification. However, the synthesis is normally realized by fragment coupling approach in low yields. Herein, we report one‐pot, gram‐scale and shape‐controlled synthesis of two covalen...
