The cover picture shows the arrangement of the 3‐D [Hg 7 As 4 ] 4+ host framework and the AgI 3 2− guest anions in a novel supramolecular architecture [Hg 7 As 4 ](AgI 3 ) 2 , self‐assembled from a heterogeneous system at high temperature. Although the host−guest interaction is weak, it governs both the geometry of the host framework (mercury atoms, blue; arsenic atoms, pink) and guest anions (silver atoms, red; iodine atoms, violet) and the positioning of the guest in the framework cavities. A mutual adjustment of the host and guests results is the unusual off‐plane geometry of the AgI 3 2− anion. Details are discussed in the article of A. V. Shevelkov et al. on p. 1053 ff.
