The complex host–guest chemistry of the crown‐type cluster [P 8 W 48 O 184 ] 40− has been studied by a combination of 31 P NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry. This cluster which was originally reported in 1985 is witnessing a recent surge in interest. Herein its selectivity for potassium over ammonium is demonstrated, and its unique and intriguing aqueous behavior is deciphered. For details see the Communication by L. Cronin et al. on page 12010 ff.
