The inside cover picture shows isocyanide is an important reactive reactant, which has been widely used in the construction of nitrogen‐containing compounds. In our previous works, we found that cobalt catalyzed reactions of sulfonyl azide with isocyanide can effectively synthesize guanidines and isoureas. Therefore, we envisaged the cobalt‐catalyzed cascade reaction of sulfonyl azide, isocyanide and boronic acid to construct sulfonyl amidinium imine derivatives. The background of the cover shows Soochow University's motto “unto a full grown man”, and the use of Suzhou's outstanding traditional handicrafts “nut‐carving” to present “isocyanide” has a wonderful effect, as meaningful as the chemical reaction in this article. More details are discussed in the article by Ji et al. on page 1011–1016.
