The Cover Feature shows the evolution of scanning tunneling microscopy images during the cyclodehydrogenation of a polyaromatic hydrocarbon precursor sublimated onto an Au(111) surface under ultra‐high vacuum. This strategy allows the on‐surface preparation and study of planar large and dissymmetric starphenes that could not be prepared in solution, and may give access to families of molecular logic gates that are of interest in single‐molecule electronics.
