Cage‐to‐cage transformations are illustrated for Pd 2 L 4 coordination cages. Covalent modifications were carried out by condensation of the coordinating atoms in the cage by incoming organic functionalities. The same targets are also achieved through ligand‐exchange reactions by choosing suitable incoming ligands. These transformations can be repeated in a cascade fashion, through both of the above routes and are compared with a cascading waterfall in the cover art.
