The cover picture shows the photograph of Robert Bunsen and the statue of Jöns Jakob Berzelius in the centre of Berzeli Park (Stockholm). Both famous chemists investigated the chemistry of tetramethyldiarsane As 2 Me 4 ( kakodyl ), one of the first organometallic compounds that were initially prepared by Claude‐Louis Cadet de Gassicourt ( Cadet's fuming liquid ) in 1757. Distibanes Sb 2 R 4 , the heavier congeners of diarsanes, exhibit much weaker metal–metal bonds and can be used for interesting bond‐making and bond‐breaking reactions with group 13 organometallic compounds. Details are discussed in the article by S. Schulz et al. on p. 931 ff. The artwork was designed by Dr. Edgar Luttmann.
