The cover picture shows the results of modelling the diffusion of phthalodinitrile through the zeolite pores. Once inside, phthalodinitrile reacts to form a large phthalocyanine guest that remains entrapped inside the zeolite cavity. The resultingzeolite−guest chemistry resembles at molecular level a ship in a bottle that is a typical souvenir in many harbour cities. The zeolite‐encapsulated guest shows many promising applications as discussed in the Microreview by A. Corma and H. Garcia on p. 1143 ff.
