Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Ingo Fischer at the University of Würzburg and of Anouk M. Rijs at the Radboud University. The image depicts polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons produced in the self‐reaction of the benzyl radical. Benzyl itself is formed in combustion engines from toluene, an anti‐knock additive.
