The cover picture shows the mechanism by which crystals of a ferrocene derivative power the deposition of metal nanowires on a graphite surface. In the background a colorized scanning electron microscope image is showing the graphite surface after crystallization of decamethyl ferrocene from a solution of 1,2‐dichloroethane. Such a surface served as the starting point for the deposition of nanowires, as described in the Article by Dryfe et al. on page 1879.
