The cover picture shows a high‐yield, one‐step synthesis of end‐on bridged dinuclear titanium−dinitrogen complexes using Cp*TiCl 3 , N 2 and pentafulvenes under reductive conditions. The Cp* as well as the fulvene ligands are arranged in a stereoregular manner along the Ti−N≡N−Ti axis, both in the solid state as well as in solution, as proved by extensive NMR measurements. Details are discussed in the article by R. Beckhaus et al. on p. 1003 ff. In a similar way a nitrogen‐free, low‐coordinated titanium complex is obtained by using sterically demanding benzofulvenes.
