The front cover picture, provided by Shigeki Matsunaga and Motomu Kanai, depicts the utility of a bench‐stable Cp*Co(CO)I 2 complex, which was readily available in >10‐gram scale, as the precursor of a cationic cobalt(III) active catalyst for directed CH bond functionalization. The Cp*Co(CO)I 2 complex, in combination with AgSbF 6 and KOAc, efficiently catalyzed the directed C‐2 selective amidation of indoles with sulfonyl azides, as reported in the Communication on pages 1491–1495 (B. Sun, T. Yoshino, S. Matsunaga, M. Kanai, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2014, 356, 1491–1495; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201301110) .
