The cover picture shows the nice layered nature of the lead‐free copper perovskite that contains a very long organic dication sandwiched between 2D sheets of copper halide. The building blocks (i.e., the metal anions and organic cations) have been self‐assembled through second‐sphere coordination interactions. The material shows near‐UV/blue photoluminescence and is moisture stable. Details are given in the Communication by J. Martí‐Rujas and A. Petrozza et al. on page 681 in Issue 5, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201600477).
