The cover picture shows the sonochemical preparation of samarium diiodide, samarium dibromide, and samarium triflate. The use of high intensity ultrasound (20 kHz) provides a straightforward and rapid approach to the synthesis of Sm II compounds, some of which are not accessible by other means. Of particular importance is the fact that this approach can be used to produce Sm II ‐based reductants in a wide range of solvents, including alcohols. Details are discussed in the Short Communication by R. A. Flowers II et al. on p. 5015 ff. R. A. F. gratefully acknowledges the National Science Foundation (CHE‐0413845) for support of this work. Mr. Brian Casey is thanked for his assistance in the preparation of the cover.
