The front cover picture , provided by Burkhard König et al., illustrates how iodine solutions block most of the incoming light with the exception of a small part at the edge of the visible light spectral region. This spectral window (385–415 nm) with low absorptivity allows irradiation of an inexpensive anthraquinone photocatalyst, which can promote the iodination of electron‐rich arenes and heteroarenes with high regioselectivity and good to excellent yields. Details are reported in the full paper on pages 3998–4004 (R. Narobe, S. J. S. Düsel, J. Iskra, B. König, Adv. Synth. Catal . 2019 , 361 , 3998–4004; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201900298).
