The cover picture shows mesoscopic strands of highly fluorenscent perylene bisimide–melamine assemblies as visualized by confocal fluorenscence microscopy. This technique does not only provide topological information such as related AFM or STM images, but truly shows the functionality of fluorescent optical networks of the present supramolecular system. The synthesis and structural investigations of the fluorescent mesoscopic superstructures is presented by F. Würthner et al. on p. 3871 ff. The author wishes to thank the BASF AG for kindly covering the costs for the cover picture
