The Front Cover shows a schematic drawing of a new ligand, o ‐F,F‐DPEphos, in which the ortho ‐aryl hydrogen atoms on the popular DPEphos ligand have been exchanged for fluorine atoms. The coordination chemistry of o ‐F,F‐DPEphos is explored with a bimetallic Au complex Au 2 Cl 2 ( o ‐F,F‐DPEphos) and a Schrock‐Osborn type cationic Rh complex. Features of the ortho ‐fluorine substitution compared to the DPEphos equivalents include through‐space F‐F interactions (highlighted), switching off of aurophilic interactions, and a change in the hydrogenation product of the Rh complex.
