The cover picture shows the thermolysis (up to 1000 °C) of the first phosphorus‐rich manganese(I) complex [Mn 2 ( μ ‐Br){ cyclo ‐(P 4 t Bu 3 )P t Bu}(CO) 6 ] with formation of antiferromagnetic (below 103 K) Mn 2 P as the final product via a phosphorus‐rich phase (calculated as Mn 2 P 5 ) at 315 °C. In their Full Paper on page 341 ff., E. Hey‐Hawkins et al. describe the synthesis of the molecular precursor from Na[ cyclo ‐(P 5 t Bu 4 )] and [MnBr(CO) 5 ]. The rearrangement of [ cyclo ‐(P 5 t Bu 4 )] − into [ cyclo ‐(P 4 t Bu 3 )P t Bu] − was rationalized by theoretical studies. Cover designed by Volkan Senol.
