The cover feature shows the formation of paddlewheel‐type rhodium complexes that have azulene ligands in all four equatorial positions and form one‐dimensional stacked chains along the axial direction in the crystalline state. These compounds contain porous cavities and can adsorb CO 2 through the coulombic attraction between the gas and the framework. Intramolecular electronic communication and energy migration among the azulene units was also demonstrated by redox and transient absorption measurements. Details are given in the Full Paper by T. Tsuchiya, Y. Mazaki, and co‐workers on page 655 in Issue 6, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201800513).
