The cover picture shows an unusually wide (16 Å) channel in a stable nanoporous coordination framework, which is also novel in being based on bridging phosphane ligands. A space‐filling representation of a segment of the structure is shown at the center of the picture. The as‐synthesized material contains disordered ethanol guests, which can be exchanged for other solvents, and subsequently the material was obtained virtually guest‐free, without structural collapse. The unconventional use of a phosphane enabled information to be gained on this framework's solution‐based precursors (by 31 P NMR spectroscopy) which appear to be discrete coordination cages. Further details are reported by S. L. James and co‐workers on p. 764 ff.
