The cover feature shows a W‐shaped {Ga‐Dy‐Dy‐Dy‐Ga} coordination cluster. The W‐shape reminds us of Leone's love of wines, also the molecule combines metals relevant to his research in the field of imaging and therapeutic techniques in medicine. The magnetic measurements indicate the compound shows single‐molecule magnet (SMM) behavior under zero dc field, suggesting success when combining Ga III and Dy III ions (4f) to assemble SMM clusters. This combination also offers prospects in dual‐functionality therapeutics for medical applications. Details are given in the Full Paper by A. K. Powell and co‐workers on page 676 in Issue 7, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201800049).
