Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Oscar Castillo at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Bilbao, Spain. The cover image shows the colors emitted by polycrystalline samples of a series of 3D coordination compounds comprising yttrium(III) metal ions and pyrimidine‐4,6‐dicarboxylato and oxalato ligands when they are doped with europium(III) and terbium(III) ions. The color of the emission can be tuned by changing the amount of doping, varying the excitation wavelength, and/or monitoring the dehydration/rehydration of the channels.
