The cover picture shows the self‐assembly of modular porous [LnFe III Fe II 6 (Hpmida) 6 ] · n H 2 O [Ln = Nd 3+ ( 1 ), Gd 3+ ( 2 ), Tb 3+ ( 3 ), Er 3+ ] frameworks (isolated as large single crystals) from individual {LnO 6 } octahedra, [Fe 2 (Hpmida) 2 ] 2– dimeric units and charge‐balancing Fe 3+ cations. The simultaneous presence of d‐ and f‐block elements promotes multifunctionality: whereas the magnetic properties of the Gd 3+ ‐based framework are highly sensitive to the local structural disorder, the emission lifetime of the Tb 3+ ‐based material is increased three‐fold when the temperature is lowered. Details of the synthesis and characterization of this series of porous frameworks are given in the article by J. Rocha, F. A. Almeida Paz et al. on p. 2035 ff.
