The cover picture shows the crystal structure of a heteronuclear trimetallic complex of a “back‐to‐back” ligand superimposed on a view of the wild heather near Kettlewell in the Yorkshire Dales national park, near Leeds. The ligand contains two different metal‐binding domains that can be sequentially metallated with high selectivity – there is no detectable exchange of metal ions between the domains of the ligand in solution. The iron(II) ion at the centre of the complex undergoes a spin transition on cooling, in solution and in the solid state. Details are discussed in the Short Communication by M. A. Halcrow et al. on p. 1007 ff.
