Cover: p‐Cresol chains are analyzed by a new method referred to as molecular‐cluster‐assembly. Molecular structures from top and side views are comprised of spirals and open‐rings and found to have minimum energies. It is shown that the dissociation energy of the hydrogen atom located inside the composite structure increases as compared to that of the first hydrogen atom surrounded by less neighboring oxygen atoms. Further details can be found in the article by S. Ho,* M. Aoyagi on page 443.
