The cover picture shows the space‐filling model of a hexaplatinated sensor‐active metallodendrimer that has been prepared for selective and efficient SO 2 gas detection. The diagnostic sites consist of arylplatinum( II ) complexes that contain terdentate chelating “pincer”‐type ligands and are located at the periphery of the dendrimer. These nanosize macromolecules undergo a reversible and characteristic color change from colorless (back) to orange (front) in the presence of SO 2 . The mode of action, property‐directed engineering and the application potential of this and similar new sensor devices are described in more detail by G. van Koten et al. on p. 1431 ff.
