The cover shows a composite image depicting the vapor deposition and self‐assembly of an organic ligand and Cu metal atoms into a two‐dimensional supramolecular architecture on a single crystal metal surface. The lower part of the image is a scanning tunneling microscopy topograph showing the highly ordered nanostructure with single molecule resolution. S. L. Tait, M. Ruben, et al. demonstrate on page 2495 that the ligand, 5,5'‐bis(4‐pyridyl)(2,2'‐bipyrimidine), assembles with Cu adatoms to form the same robust, two‐dimensional network on three surfaces, which differ significantly in lattice constant and symmetry.
