The cover picture shows Divalent copper coordination polymers containing an isophthalate andkinked hydrogen‐bonding capable dipyridylamide ligands show different 1D, 2D, and 3D dimensionalities and topologies depending on pyridyl nitrogen donor disposition and the steric bulk of the substituent on the dicarboxylate aromatic ring. Use of the very sterically bulky 5‐ tert ‐butylisophthalate (tbip) ligand and 3‐pyridylisonicotinamide (3‐pina) afforded the acentric 1‐D chain coordination polymer {[Cu(tbip)(3‐pina) 2 (H 2 O)]·H 2 O} n , which possesses a curious “butterfly” resemblance when viewed along the chain axis. Magnetic and thermalproperties of these new phases are also discussed in the article by Robert L. LaDuca et al. on page 2113ff.
