Multinary materials show promise for many applications due to their functional tunability. In article number 1807406 , Jie Pan, Stephan Lany, and co‐workers demonstrate a predictive structure–synthesis–property model for the design of multinary materials, considering off‐stoichiometry, disorder, impurities, defects, and non‐equilibrium synthesis. Using this model, the origin of the mysterious doping behavior of ZnSnN 2 is elucidated. The key to this behavior lies in the formation of the metastable dual sublattice mixed solid solution Zn 1+ x S 1− x nN 2−2 x O 2 x .
