Invited for this month's cover is the group of Michael Ruck at the Technische Universität Dresden (Germany). The cover picture shows the spiro-dicubane Bi7 S85+ in the center, accompanied by two Bi4 S44+ hetero-cubanes on both sides, which are shown along their threefold axis. These sulfidobismuth polycations were isolated in salts with [AlCl4 ]- and [S(AlCl3 )3 ]2- anions. The starting material was Bi2 S3 , which is generally hard to dissolve but can easily be activated under ionothermal conditions. Moreover, the presence of noble
