The cover picture shows the self‐assembly of a tetranuclear Co III metallacycle from the reaction of a bis(benzene‐ o ‐dithiolato) ligand and Co II after aerial oxidation. Two differently coordinated metal centres ( syn and anti ) are observed in the metallacycle even though a ligand with two identical donor sites has been used. This unusual structural motif is formed in order to avoid strong steric interactions between the ortho‐ sulfur atoms, which would result in a hypothetical dinuclear complex. Details are discussed in the article by F. E. Hahn et al. on p. 535 ff.
