The cover picture provided by Alexander Ahrens from the group of A. S. K. Hashmi presents the results of their work on the gold‐catalysed cyclisation of amide‐substituted 1,5‐diynes leading to functionalised 1‐indenones. This conversion was achieved by a 1,4‐dioxidation utilising diphenyl sulfoxide as oxidant, which is illustrated by the two skyrockets in the cover picture. Referring to the 20th IUPAC International Symposium on Organometallic Chemistry Directed Towards Organic Synthesis (OMCOS 20), which will be held in Heidelberg in July 2019, its two symbols, the Heidelberg castle and the old bridge, are shown on the cover picture. More information can be found in the Communication by A. S. K. Hashmi et al. on page 9385.
