The Chem. Eur. J. journal features on its front cover the recently published research article “a voyage into chemical bonds and aromaticity” by Dr. Antony Stasyuk of the DIMOCAT group at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona, also in collaboration with Prof. Jordi Poater (IQTCUB-University of Barcelona) and Prof. Henrik Ottosson (Uppsala University). This cover is dedicated to a special collection of works by colleagues and friends of Prof. Miquel Solà in honor of his 60^th birthday. The artwork captures the main scientific interests of Professor Solà, including molecular aromaticity, chemical bonding analysis, and organic reaction mechanisms. His research explores new forms of aromaticity, such as three-dimensional and excited state aromaticity, and the reactivity of fullerenes and endohedral metallofullerenes. The cover was designed by  Prof. Sílvia Osuna.
