A three‐bladed windmill illustrates the molecular structure of the title complex tris(diphosphatetrahedrane)nickel(0). The three sails of the windmill represent the three diphosphatetrahedrane molecules, which coordinate via their P–P bonds to a single nickel(0) atom forming the windshaft. The three blades illustrate the threefold rotation axis of the complex and the propeller twist of the ligands, which makes the complex chiral.(DOI: 10.1002/zaac.202200124).
