The cover picture shows how straightforward the synthesis of arene ruthenium metalla‐assemblies is: It consists of mixing different building blocks in an appropriate solvent with a precise stoichiometry, followed by a germination period, before harvesting the resulting metalla‐assembly. The germination period, involving assembly‐disassembly, self‐repairing, and rearrangement of the building blocks, has been studied by NMR spectroscopy. The elucidation of the formation mechanism has given valuable answers for the future design of arene ruthenium metalla‐assemblies. Details are discussed in the article by B. Therrien et al. on p. 5651 ff . For more on the story behind the cover research, see the Cover Profile .
