The cover picture shows interpenetrating pagodane (orange) and dodecahedrane (blue) frameworks–as illustration of the pagodane route to dodecahedranes. That pagodane can be catalytically isomerized to the C 20 H 20 hydrocarbon was already known. New are the possibilities of synthesizing four‐,six‐ and eightfold functionalized dodecahedranes. Unsaturated dedecahedranes modified with additional framework atoms are also accessible. The planning of the syntheses was facilitated by MM2 force field calculations. Further details of these fascinating cage compounds and their elegant syntheses are reported on by H. Prinzbach et al. in a series of communications starting on page 298.
