Host–guest behavior in a nitrido‐sodalite is reported for the first time. The novel nitrido‐sodalite Zn 6 [P 12 N 24 ] has the usual nitrido‐sodalite structure with PN 4 corner‐sharing units, as shown i the Figure, except that the central anion and one quarter of the Zn 2⊕ ions are absent, producing only partial filling of the β‐cages. Hydrogen encapsulation in the β‐cages is discussed.
