Abstract The cover picture shows the reaction of a calix[4]arene methyl ether stabilized nitridomolybdenum complex [MoN(MeCalix)] with GaCl 3 to yield the compound [Mo(NGa‐Cl 3 )(MeCalix)]. This complex represents the first structurally characterized example of a nitrido‐bridged dinuclear compound of a group 6 metal and a group 13 halide [EX 3 ]. Both metal atoms are unsymmetrically bridged with a short [Mo≡N] and a long [Ga−N] contact. Details on synthesis and structural characterization are discussed in the article by U. Radius et al. on p. 2037 ff. In the background there is a view from the University of Karlsruhe (TH) to the adjacent “Hardtwald” on a stormy day photographed by Bernhard Mühr (www.wolkenatlas.de).
