Invited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Evamarie Hey‐Hawkins from Leipzig University, Germany. The cover picture, designed by Dr. Christoph Selg, shows two pots on a crowded table planted with bulky tert ‐butyl groups symbolizing the phosphorus atoms in the strained ring system of a carborane‐substituted 1,2‐diphosphetane. However, selenium can still be inserted into the P−P bond, as reported by Hey‐Hawkins et al. in their present publication, which combines experimental and computational studies.
