The Front Cover shows the single‐crystal X‐ray structure of methanesulfonamide and its protonated species. The protonation of methanesulfonamide and the isolation of corresponding salts succeeded for the first time with the superacidic systems HF/SbF 5 and HF/AsF 5 . In the background of the cover picture a typical reaction vessel containing colourless crystals of [CH 3 SO 2 NH 3 ] + [Sb 2 F 11 ] – is shown. The structure analyses revealed a remarkable elongation of the sulfur‐nitrogen bond due to the protonation. The reason is explained in the article by Leitz et al. on page 1202 ff .
