The increasing stabilization of an anionic transition state with the increasing π acidity of newly made catalysts provides unprecedented experimental evidence that anion–π interactions can contribute to catalysis. In their Communication on page 9940 ff., S. Matile et al. further disclose theoretical simulations of anion–π catalysis that illustrate how the negative charge slides over the π‐acidic surface of the naphthalenediimide catalyst.
