Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Dominique Matt at the University of Strasbourg. The cover image shows a palladium complex stabilized by an N‐heterocyclic carbene bearing two non‐rotating alkylfluorenyl substituents. The NHC ligand functions like a clamp to permanently protect two trans ‐located coordination sites.
