Sumario:The Front Cover shows a colored pallet of melamine and ammeline tautomers that form hydrogen‐bonded hexameric rosettes. When it comes to self‐assembling capabilities, one of the ammeline structures (red) is shown to be distinctly superior to melamine, both in the gas phase and in water. Quantum chemical computations explain that this is caused by the presence of stronger pair interactions and the manifestation of a large cooperativity effect. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. N. Petelski and C. Fonseca Guerra on page 135 in Issue 2, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/open.201800210).[Image: see text]
