Invited for the cover of this issue is Stéphane Bellemin‐Laponnaz from the University of Strasbourg and CNRS, France. The cover image shows the formulas of various platinum(II) complexes with an N‐heterocyclic carbene ligand and a neutral ligand with two halides in the trans ‐position. These complexes have a potent anticancer activity.
