A double‐cluster framework comprising octahedral Co 6 S 8 superatoms, tetrahedral Cu 4 I 4 clusters, and 1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane (PTA) bifunctional linkers was prepared using a stepwise approach. The synthesis relies on the use of a stable, pre‐formed Co 6 S 8 (PTA) 6 superatomic‐metalloligand, which can undergo further coordination‐driven assembly in the presence of CuI. The resulting three‐dimensional coordination polymer exhibits reversible redox behavior in the solid state. The artwork portrays a pair of star clusters known as the Double Cluster, which resides in the northern part of the constellation Perseus. The star clusters are 7500 light years from Earth and each contain 300 to 400 stars that can be viewed using a pair of binoculars. Illustration by Frank A. Martinez.
