An octanuclear cluster cation assembled from eight Cu 2+ ions, ten OH − ions and twelve neutral monodentate n ‐propylamine moieties is depicted on the cover. Remarkably, this discrete cluster does not contain multidentate ligands to limit its further aggregation. Instead, its controllable formation appears to be attributable to the influence of the n ‐propyl chains, which pack efficiently in hydrophobic channels running through the crystal lattice. More details are given by C. J. McKenzie et al. on p. 825ff.
