Abstract Invited for the cover of this issue is the team of Florian Glöcklhofer at the TU Wien. The cover reflects the ups and downs they experienced during the investigation of the novel synthesis of cyanoarenes from quinones, which is highlighted by the magnifying glass. The sometimes exhausting experiments were finally rewarded by the versatile new one‐pot reaction presented in the accompanying full paper. The significance for the field of material chemistry is illustrated by the blueprint showing the crystal structure of 6,13‐dicyanopentacene.
