The cover picture shows the zwitterionic cage GeP 4 C 4 ( t Bu) 4 (bottom right) with separated positive (red) and negative (blue) charges (see the electrostatic potential map, top right). The compound forms in a smooth reaction from the neutral η 4 ‐Ge complex and two t BuCP phosphaalkynes (bottom left). Details are discussed in the article by M. D. Francis et al. on p. 1761 ff.
