Puzzle solved: Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) can be a powerful method to determine the constitution of molecules when traditional methods for structure elucidation fail. In their Communication on page 2643 ff., B. Luy, S. F. Kirsch, and co‐workers demonstrate this method with products obtained by treating an azide‐containing 1,5‐enyne in the presence of electrophilic iodine sources: whereas standard analytical methods only left an unsolved structural jigsaw puzzle, the use of RDCs allowed the molecules to be identified. The authors thank R. Oehme for his support with the back‐cover design.
