An isolated space for size‐ or shape‐selective dynamic molecular recognition and metal‐triggered chemical reactions is offered by the cavity within nanocapsules. In their Communication on page 6488 ff., M. Shionoya and co‐workers describe a series of isostructural octahedral capsules prepared from a common tridentate ligand and ten different transition‐metal ions, as highlighted in green in the cover picture, and demonstrate site‐specific exchange of the anions coordinated within the cavity to the metal centers.
