The Front Cover shows the interaction of Rh complexes with DNA in a design inspired by the Chinese classical novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”. According to the story, three heroes, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, fought together against Lv Bu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Eight new octahedral rhodium complexes have been reported in our paper. Three single‐crystal structures, representing the three heroes, are displayed in the cover picture, while DNA represents Lv Bu. We thank Zonghan Yu, who contributed to the idea of the cover with Chinese elements. More information can be found in the Full Paper by D. Xiao, H. Chen et al.
