The cover picture shows H‐cruciform‐shaped molecules containing an OPV2‐extended tetrathiafulvalene with orthogonally situated OPE3 or OPE5 units, which are of interest as electrically conducting molecular wires. On the left is a bronze figure of presumably the old Norse god Thor who is associated with thunder and lightning when striking his hammer, which in this figure has a cruciform‐like shape. The figure is at the National Museum of Iceland , and we are grateful to the museum's photograph collections manager Inga Lára Baldvinsdóttir for providing us with the photo. Details are discussed in the Full Paper by M. B. Nielsen et al. on page 1253 ff (DOI: 10.1002/ejoc.201601367 ).
