The Cover Feature shows the proposal for a minimal thiolate‐protected gold cluster retaining a 1S 2 1P 6 configuration. This cluster is viewed as a new addition to hybridized SP 3 ‐cores. The optical properties indicate differences in comparison to the parent Au 25 (SR) 18 cluster, providing chiroptical properties. More information can be found in the Article by A. Muñoz‐Castro and J.‐Y. Saillard on page 1859 in Issue 15, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.201800088).
