Monovalent boron compounds can mimic the chemical behavior of transition‐metal complexes. In their Communication on page 8708 ff., Z. Xie and co‐workers describe the diverse reactivity of a borylene–carbonyl compound in reactions with various reductants and nucleophiles, which proceed through reduction, migration, and complete cleavage of CO at the boron center. The cover picture illustrates the different types of reactions observed for the borylene–carbonyl compound.
