The Cover Feature demonstrates, contrary to the intuition and classical steric‐based perception, the CH⋅⋅⋅HC attraction in ortho‐xylene rotamers. It is revealed, that their stability is rooted in cooperative action of hyperconjugation, aromaticity and intra‐molecular “bay and side‐types” CH⋅⋅⋅HC interactions. More information can be found in the Article by M P. Mitoraj et al. on page 494 in Issue 6, 2020 (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202000066).
