The cover picture shows a photograph of lightning branching itself from the sky to the earth. This is one of many examples in Nature where branching leads to special events. In the dendrimer‐to‐dendrimer system shown, one branch serves as the starting point for a new dendrimer system, one of whose branches continues again, similar to the traveling of lightning. This elongated dendrimer‐to‐dendrimer system may provide additional organization of dendrimeric (NLO) ligands. We thank Dr. Edwin van den Worm for providing us with this strike‐of‐lightning idea. Details of the synthesis are described in the article by A. J. Brouwer and R. M. J. Liskamp on p. 487 ff.
