Azulene, acenaphthylene and fulvene derivatives exhibit important physical properties useful in materials chemistry as well as valuable biological properties. The metal‐catalyzed functionalization of such compounds, via C−H bond activation of their 5‐membered carbocyclic ring, proved to be convenient for the synthesis of their derivatives, and the progress in this area is summarized in the Focus Review by Jean‐François Soulé, Henri Doucet et al. on page 143 in Issue 2, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/asia.201701455).
