Zusammenfassung:After 70 years of numerous attempts to determine the structure of the high‐energy molecule tetranitromethane, it has become possible to describe the electron and X‐ray scattering data of the gas and two solid phases, respectively. In their Communication on page 9619 ff., N. W. Mitzel et al. report a structural analysis of this nightmare of molecular flexibility. The cover picture shows Johann Heinrich Füssli′s “The Nightmare” from 1790, a model of the solid high‐temperature phase, and an ignition experiment.
