The front cover picture , provided by Yan and co‐workers, directs our attention to B−B cleavage reactions to form C−B bonds. Their review summarizes the recent advances C−B formation through a free radical pathway. The mechanisms in this new area of boron chemistry are also discussed. There is a novel recognition in recent years that the boron reagent can participate in free‐radical coupling via the homolytic cleavage of the boron−boron bond. Details can be found in the review on pages 1040–1053 (G. Yan, D. Huang, X. Wu, Adv. Synth. Catal . 2018 , 360 , 1040–1053; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201701030).
