The cover picture shows the molecular structure of GaCp, a sleeping beauty in organometallic chemistry. An easy synthesis of GaCp, which can be carried out with standard laboratory equipment, opens the way for GaCp to become a useful ligand in organometallic chemistry. Details of the synthesis and first structurally characterized molecular compounds exhibiting GaCp units are discussed in the Short Communication by H. Schnöckel, A. Schnepf et al. on page 3681 ff.
