Fujin (the wind god) and Raijin (the thunder god) hold each other's hands : The cover image depicts the collaboration of enthalpy and entropy. This work reports the synthesis of tetraazatetrathia[8]circulenes, which undergo unique self‐assembly. The self‐assembly in chloroform and methanol is favored by both enthalpic and entropic factors. The unique association behavior is due to the presence of pyridinic nitrogen atoms, which weakly coordinate to the hydrogen atoms of these solvents and reduce the π‐electron density of the circulene cores. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Y. Miyake et al. on page 5675.
