Systematic design and self‐assembly of complex supramolecular coordination cages with predictable configurations has been a long‐standing challenge in chemistry, which is as mysterious as the starry sky depicted in the cover image. This work reports a trackable CpZr‐involved cage to cage conversion to generate a heteroleptic V 2 E 3 cage from two homoleptic cages with different geometries of V 2 E 3 and V 4 E 6 . Moreover, SCC‐2 cage possesses a cationic cavity allowing the encapsulation of a series of sulfonate anionic guests. More information can be found in the Full Paper by S. Bai, Y.‐F. Han, et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202100710).
