Coronene–TCNB cocrystals show remarkable self‐healing behavior and thermomechanical responses during reversible single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal (SCSC) phase transitions. In their Communication on page 202 ff., Q. Zhang, X. Tao, et al. show that the global similarity in the packing patterns of the two phases, as well as local differences, such as the molecular stacking sequence and orientation, are the origin of the self‐healing behavior of these crystals.
