The inside cover picture shows the chemical structure of a tris(2‐pyridyl)borate ligand at the center, as a rising star among the diverse classes of scorpionate‐type ligands. This robust new class of ligands forms complexes with various metal ions (left). They have also been successfully incorporated into polymeric materials (right). A scanning electron micrograph of nanostructures formed upon self‐assembly of a block copolymer serves as the background. Crystallization of the molecular complexes results in an extended network with cylindrical (star‐shaped) channels. An illustration of the porous crystal lattice is used at the top and bottom to frame the picture. Details are presented in the Microreview by F. Jäkle, J. B. Sheridan, and G. M. Pawar on p. 2227 ff .
