The cover picture shows nickel bis‐dithiolene compounds in which different lengths of alkyl chains are grafted on the periphery of the octa‐substituted core molecule. The synthesis affords a mixture that was analyzed by X‐ray diffraction. The obtained X‐ray pattern at 70 °C is presented on background and is relative to a hexagonal columnar liquid‐crystalline phase. Such a pattern is not observed on the corresponding pure isolated compounds. Details are discussed in the article by B. Garreau‐de Bonneval, K. I. Moineau‐Chane Ching et al. On p. 2663 ff. The authors thank the French National Research Agency (ANR) for supporting this work.
