We describe the synthesis of a highly water‐soluble cryptophane 1 that can be seen as a universal platform for the construction of 129Xe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based biosensors. Compound 1 is easily functionalized by Huisgen cycloaddition and exhibits excellent xenon‐encapsulation properti...
