The cover picture shows one of these rare mornings in Cologne when snow covers the ground surrounding the Chemistry Department. Superimposed is a projection of the crystal structure of {Ir 2 Gd 5 }Br 5 that was created and discovered by Matthias Brühmann in the lab with the lights already switched on (left building, upper floor). {Ir 2 Gd 5 }Br 5 may be understood as a one‐dimensional intermetallic phase of iridium atoms encapsulated in double chains of face‐ and edgesharing monocapped trigonal prisms of gadolinium, {Ir 2 Gd 5 }, bathing in a sea of bromide. More details are discussed in the article by M. Brühmann and G.Meyer on pp. 1257 ff.
