Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Stephan Schulz at the University of Duisburg‐Essen. The cover image illustrates the in situ crystallization technique, which is the thermally induced transformation of polycrystalline (diethylstibanyl)tellurane, (Et 2 Sb) 2 Te, into a single‐crystalline sample by use of an IR laser, which allows melting and recrystallization of the sample in a N 2 cooling steam directly on the diffractometer. The technique provides useful structural information for small molecules and allows a detailed investigation of their intermolecular interactions in the solid state.
