The Front Cover shows the ultrahigh‐resolution X‐ray diffraction of a new Cu I complex with the tripodal triphosphine ligand HTIM(PPh 2 ) 3 , which has the shortest well‐described Cu···H–C bond so far [ d (Cu–H) = 1.9 Å]. Both theoretical and experimental studies indicate a 3c–4e – anagostic interaction. The four hands under the X‐ray radiation symbolize the team effort toward discovering and characterizing the first example of this rare bonding situation, valuable for a better understanding of C–H activation intermediates.
