Invited for the cover of this issue are Dr. João Paulo André, Dr. Paula Margarida Ferreira, and Dr. André Fontes at the University of Minho, Braga, Portugal, and Prof. Lothar Helm at the EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. The cover image shows the general structure of PEGylated DOTA‐based Gd III chelates developed as potential contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. The rotating arrow illustrates the importance of the tumbling behavior of the chelates for their relaxivity.
