The Cover picture shows a novel spatial‐modulation approach that was developed to fabricate a heterogeneous Pd‐metalated conjugated nanoporous polymer (CNP) for efficient and ligand‐free cyanation of aryl halides. This innovative methodology excludes the use of toxic and expensive cyanide sources, suggesting a green and sustainable way toward the synthesis of benzonitriles. This is the first report of functionalized CNPs exhibiting high activity in the synthesis of benzonitriles, including high product yield, excellent stability and recyclability, and broad scope functional group tolerance. More details can be found in the Communication by Ding et al. on page 2348 in Issue 11, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201700329).
