The front cover artwork is provided by Miriam Wollenhaupt and Prof. Dominik Marx, Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Chemie, Ruhr‐Universität Bochum. The image shows schematically that the pattern of the natural resonance theory weights along the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) of the ring‐opening reaction of a cyclopropane derivative does not change significantly as a function of an externally applied mechanical force.
