Abstract The cover picture shows the crystal structure of “tantalum tribromide”, which is, in fact, a perovskite‐related salt, [{Ta 6 }Br 12 ]Br 3 [TaBr 6 ] 0.86 . Unlike the mythical King Tantalos who was not allowed to grasp the fruits above his head, Habermehl et al. (page 4075 ff.) were blessed to pick this magnificent fruit that had to ripen for 45 years.
