The Cover Feature shows the structural diversity of the functionalized naphthalen‐ediimides (NDIs) that can now be accessed with highly electron‐poor, ambipolar, and electron‐rich properties. A variety of coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Stille, Buchwald‐Hartwig, etc. have been performed to achieve attractive multi‐electron redox properties that includes electron‐sponges and multi‐electron‐reservoirs. The intriguing molecular designs have led to significantly extended electrochemical windows, attractive panchromism and new applications. More information can be found in the Minireview by J. Shukla and P. Mukhopadhyay.
