The cover picture shows two achiral pyrene puppets with one chiral binaphthyl puppeteer, in which the handedness of the pyrene puppets in the ground and photo‐excited chiral states of the puppets is controlled by the wire's chemical structure, as proven by circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence spectra. Puppetry is one of the most common cultures in the world, that is well known as Ningyo‐joruri (Japan), Kathputli (Rajasthani puppetry, India), and Marionette (Europe). In their article on p. 64 ff , M. Fujiki, Y. Imai et al. demonstrate the importance of well‐designed structures of the chemical wires between the molecular puppet and molecular puppeteer in order to overcome thermal fluctuation that is determined solely by the Boltzmann distribution.
