The cover picture shows the structure, generated by molecular mechanics calculations, of a chromophoric self‐assembled superlattice with a very large second‐order nonlinear optical response (blue, benzylic coupling layer; green: stilbazolium chromophore layer with high polarizability: violet and yellow: siloxane capping layer: white spheres: iodide counterions). The synthesis and properties of the associated real systems are one of the themes of the review by T. J. Marks and M. A. Ratner on molecule‐based assemblies with nonlinear optical properties on pp. 155ff. This article complements excellently that by N. J. Long on the “organometallic route” to NLO materials in the previous issue.
