The cover picture shows the octaanion of the salt [Et 3 MeN] 8 [{AgCl(GeB 11 H 11 )} 4 ]. This silver chloride adduct was synthesized by reacting the silver halide with an equimolar amount of the nucleophile germa‐closo‐dodecaborate [Et 3 MeN] 2 [GeB 11 H 11 ]. The Ag‐X heterocubane compound was also isolated and characterized in the case of silver bromide. Both silver halide adducts show germanium‐silver coordination and crystallize in the monoclinic space group C 2 / c with half of the octaanions in the asymmetric unit lying on a twofold axis of rotation. More details are discussed in the Short Communication by L. Wesemann et al. on pp. 643ff.
