The Interaction Modes of Haloimidazolium Salts in Solution

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Elsa Sanchez‐Garcia at the Universität Duisburg‐Essen and Stefan M. Huber at the Ruhr‐University Bochum. The image depicts the crystal structure of an iodoimidazolium salt showing one of the possible interactions.
