The back cover picture shows the Ln 4 H 8 core structure of the tetranuclear, rare earth metal, octahydride complexes [(C 5 Me 4 SiMe 3 ) 4 Ln 4 H 8 (THF) n ] (Ln = Sc, Y, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu; n = 0, 1, or 2). These hydride clusters exhibit extremely high and unique reactivity towards a variety of unsaturated substrates, which leads to the formation of a new family of polynuclear compounds. Details are discussed in the article by Z. Hou et al. on p. 2535 ff.
