The cover picture shows a schematic view of the templated process that is mediated by Zn(salphen) complexes in the presence of pyridine‐alcohol ligands. The products of the templated reactions are unusual trinuclear Zn 3 assemblies that comprise a central, nonsymmetrical Zn complex of which the anionic O‐donor atoms coordinate to two Zn(salphen) units. Full details on the stability and structural features of a small library of these supramolecular systems are discussed in the article by A. W. Kleij et al. on p. 5307 ff.
