The cover picture of the current issue refers to the Rapid Research Letter by Rafailov et al. [1]. The article presents Raman measurements on Aza‐Thia Open‐Cage Fullerene (ATOCF) containing hydrogen molecules. The authors analyze the spectral bands of empty and H 2 ‐filled ATOCF and compare them with Raman spectra of pristine C 60 . The picture shows a C 60 ‐derived open‐cage fullerene hosting an H 2 molecule. The first author Peter Rafailov works on Raman spectroscopy of C 60 crystals and intercalated compounds as well as on carbon nanotubes. He focuses on spectroelectrochemistry and on electron–phonon coupling. He holds a permanent position at the Institute of Solid State Physics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia, Bulgaria.
