A change of perspective can allow for surprising views. Water becomes a potent medium for synthesizing highly aromatic compounds when heated to high temperatures. In their Research Article on page 15050, M. M. Unterlass and co‐workers report the hydrothermal synthesis of two classes of highly conjugated organic polymers, polybenzimidazoles and pyrrone polymers. The cover picture shows an abstraction of a water surface, which looks different from different angles and distances to the image, illustrating that liquid high‐temperature water becomes a powerful medium for transformations that would be inconceivable in room‐temperature water.
