The cover picture shows the [SiN 2 ] 2– framework of the lithium ion conductor Li 2 SiN 2 . The hitherto unknown crystal structure reveals possible Li + pathways (red channels) for lithium ion conductivity. Li 2 SiN 2 was synthesized from “Si(CN 2 ) 2 ”, highlighted as a promising precursor for nitridosilicates in arc‐welded (top left) tantalum crucibles. The structure was solved from single crystals, and the 7 Li MAS solid‐state NMR spectrum (bottom right) is presented. Details are discussed in the article by W. Schnick et al. on p. 1579 ff.
