Invited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Norio Shibata based at the Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan. The cover picture shows the crystal structures of trifluoroethoxy‐substituted subphthalocyanines which form crystalline clathrates with one small aromatic molecule, such as toluene or benzene, in their concave cavity. Twelve trifluoroethoxy substituents flexibly surround the small molecule to hold it on the 14π‐electron conjugated surface of the subphthalocyanines.
