The macrocycle monoxo‐tetraamine, 1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotridecane‐5‐one (mota), was found to be extremely efficient in the recognition of the amino acid, glycine (Gl), in aqueous solution. The single‐crystal structure of a five‐coordinated mota‐Zn II complex is reported. This Zn II complex acts as host for Gl to form a stable ternary complex. The recognition constants and the recognition mechanism for the binary and ternary complexes are based on potentiometric data.
