The cover picture shows a construction site where BAM‐H 2 and Me 3 Al are mixed to form a road made of Me 2 AlH and DIPPN(H)AlMe 2 . The building blocks of the road reorganize themselves to form a bridge that represents the tetra nuclear H– and DIPP(H)N– bridged [(DIPPNH)AlMe 2 (μ‐H)AlMe 2 ] 2 complex ( 2 ). The bridge looks solid at first but gets destroyed when it is attacked by the THF‐sharks and falls releasing H 2 gas. In the background, new territories arise showing the potential applications and synthetic opportunities that could be reached using the chemistry presented in our paper. More details are discussed in the article by Harmen S. Zijlstra, Alexander Hofmann, and Sjoerd Harder on page 1252 ff .
