The cover picture shows a view of Kohn–Sham HOMO and LUMO structures calculated for the solvatochromic diimine‐diselenolate [Pt(bipy)(Me‐dmet)] complex. In the manuscript, the effect of replacing sulfur with selenium donor atoms in [Pt(N ∧ N)(E ∧ E)] complexes (N ∧ N = bipy, phen; E ∧ E = 2‐thioxothiazoline‐4,5‐dichacogenolate) is investigated by means of XRD analysis and spectroscopic and electrochemical methods, paralleled by theoretical DFT calculations. In the background of the picture, the “Sella del diavolo” promontory is shown, a typical landscape of the city of Cagliari, where this research was coordinated. Details are discussed in the article by M. Arca et al. on p. 5163 ff . For more on the story behind the cover research, see the Cover Profile .
