The cover picture shows the newly found anion [Pt(CO) 3 ] 2− , which crystallized serendipitously from a solution of K 6 Rb 6 Ge 17 , (PPh 3 ) 2 Pt(CO) 2 , [2.2.2]‐crypt and [18]crown‐6 in liquid ammonia. The platinate is shown as a treasure embedded in the Zintl anions [Ge 9 ] 4− and [Ge 4 ] 4− , which are present in the employed Zintl phase. The dark blue liquid of the ocean is representative of liquid ammonia, while the red crystals depict the macroscopic form of the carbonyl platinate.(DOI: 10.1002/zaac.202100378).
