Supramolecular coordination polymers based on stacked square‐planar Pt II complexes, such as Magnus' Salts, show potential as functional materials. In their Communication on page 2606 ff . G. H. Clever, M. Shionoya, and co‐workers describe a linear array of five alternately stacked Pt II complexes in the form of a soluble host–guest complex. The X‐ray structure of {[Pt(pyridine) 4 ]⋅[PtCl 4 ] 2 @cage} shows the linear, pentanuclear array within the cages and their circular packing into a hollow tubular superstructure.
