Abstract: (Article without Abstract)

Inside Front Cover Picture: Photorefraction, i.e., a light-induced change of the refractive index, is uncovered as general feature of light-induced linkage isomers in [ML₅NO]^n± compounds, independent of the metals M, the ligands L, or the charge n. Dominik Schaniel and co-workers report that huge amplitudes of refractive-index changes, up to 10^–2, give rise to pronounced holographic light scattering, which is visualized by impressively bright cones of scattered light, as shown on the inside cover.
