The front cover picture , prepared to accompany the publication of F. F. Mulks, A. S. K. Hashmi, and co‐workers, illustrates the rivalry between the stable cyclopropenyl and the reactive vinylcarbene mesomeric resonance structure, which they found in seven isolated (NHC)cyclopropenylgold(I) complexes. Their structure intriguingly shows strong pre‐activation towards the ring‐opening mode leading to 1‐aurated vinylcarbenes. (Art: “Molecular Sadism”, by Christopher M. Harrison [CMHMM], March, 2018, 80 cm×60 cm, mixed media on canvas. Edited by: Johannes G. Bach.) Details of this work can be found in the full paper on pages 1810–1821. (F. F. Mulks, P. W. Antoni, F.
