nido‐Carboranes are valuable backbones for the development of phosphorus‐based ligands. The cover, designed by Dr. Christoph Selg (Leipzig University), shows a highlight of the present study: Cu 2 I 2 units bridged by the first nido ‐carborane‐substituted diphosphetane, as symbolised by the crabs, forming a one‐dimensional coordination polymer. The diphosphetane is also suitable for functionalization to unprecedented nido ‐carborane‐based P,N ligands. More information can be found in the Full Paper by E. Hey‐Hawkins et al. on page 11456.
