The Cover Feature shows the magnetic response of the Re 3 Br 9 dianion cluster when subjected to an external magnetic field. The induced current density is shown as a two‐dimensional streamline plot on the molecular plane. The corresponding induced magnetic field was obtained using the Biot–Savart law and is shown as a three‐dimensional vector field. The complete study presents new evidence that supports the aromatic character of a series of clusters of the type [M 3 (μ‐X) 3 X 6 ] 0/2– (M = Re and Tc, X = Cl, Br, I), in which the heavy atoms involve strong relativistic effects.
