The cover picture shows schematically how the spilled pieces of Li metal are serendipitously inserted into the space within the double‐deck anionic layers and eventually form the Li‐filled double‐deck layered structure of the RE Li x Cu 2– y P y ( RE = La, Pr, Nd, Gd, Er; 0.82 ≤ x ≤ 1; 1.19 ≤ y ≤ 1.54) series. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data demonstrates partial occupation of Li and Cu sites. The compounds were thoroughly investigated by temperature‐dependent 7 Li NMR spectroscopy, thermal conductivity, as well as magnetization studies. Theoretical studies based on DOS, COHP, and ELF were also carried out. Details are discussed in the article by T.‐S. You et al. on p. 2786 ff .
