A Co 8 building unit in the form of a windmill with 16 divergent arms (pyridyl–carboxylate ligand), a world first, was found in three metal–organic frameworks. It has an unusual nearly square‐planar µ 4 ‐O bridge at the core. Its connectivity to the neighbors is controlled by the metrics and rotational degrees of freedom of the connecting ligands, which consequently gives rise to different structural topologies, gas sorption, and magnetic properties; it may be suitable for carbon dioxide capture. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M.‐H. Zeng, X.‐M. Chen et al. on page 12088 ff.
