The front cover image , provided by Kylie Agnew‐Francis and Craig Williams, illustrates diverse examples of catalytic systems that contain the sterically bulky adamantane moiety. This ‘big guy’ molecule has become well regarded in the literature for its powerful electron‐donating properties in addition to its size, and has thus marked its place in the organic chemist’s toolbox as an excellent (and often superior) addition to catalyst and ligand design. Details can be found in the review on pages 675–700 (K. A. Agnew‐Francis, C. M. Williams, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2016 , 358 , 675–700; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201500949 ).
