The cover picture shows a red‐luminescent Eu III complex with a tandem‐connected tridentate phosphane oxide ligand. The coordination geometries of Eu III complexes with tridentate phosphane oxides provide characteristic distorted, capped square‐antiprism structures with nine coordinating oxygen atoms. Eu III complexes with tridentate phosphane oxides offer relatively high emission quantum yields as a result of their low‐symmetric and low‐vibrational frequency structures. The characteristic structures and photophysical properties of polyhedral f‐block metal complexes, nine‐coordinate Eu III complexes with tridentate phosphane oxides, are demonstrated for the first time. Details are discussed in the article by Y. Hasegawa, T. Kawai et al. on p. 4777 ff.
