The cover picture shows the former and the re‐determined structure of MIL‐91(Al), one of the first permanently porous metal phosphonates, in front of the synchrotron X‐ray powder diffractometer beamline I11 (Diamond Light Source, Oxon., UK). The structure was re‐determined using high resolution synchrotron powder X‐ray diffraction data. The new model is in a lower symmetry space group, with no disordered ligands in the structure, whilst remaining otherwise consistent with the reported compound. New milder synthetic conditions were also developed. More details can be found in the Short Communication by Nele Hermer, Michael T. Wharmby and Norbert Stock on pages 137 ff.
