Remote catalytic control in fullerene‐centered triads leads to the highest activity in anion–π catalysis observed thus far. Using an enolate addition benchmark reaction, A. Frontera, S. Matile et al. demonstrate in their Communication on page 10883 ff. the importance of dynamic contributions, that is, from polarizability‐dependent anion‐induced dipoles, which exceed static contributions to anion–π interactions by far.
