The background of the Frontispiece graphic shows the hive at Nanyang Technological University, which was designed by Thomas Heatherwick. It aims to promote interaction among professors and students. This philosophy is also demonstrated in the Communication by M.‐D. Su, C.‐W. So et al. on page 14329 ff. The interaction between the low‐valent silicon and cobalt centers in the dimeric amidinato cobaltosilylene resulted in promoting the regio‐ and stereoselective addition of the ortho ‐C−H bond in arylpyridines with the C≡C triple bonds in alkynes.
