The Front Cover shows the structure of a novel iron intermediate species with an N‐heterocyclic carbene ligand containing a deprotonated amidate moiety. The presence of the amidate functionality is responsible for the excellent catalytic activity displayed by the iron complex in transfer hydrogenation of ketones to alcohols. The background image shows the iconic bridge of Lisbon to highlight that this paper is part of the International Symposium on Homogeneous Catalysis Special Collection . Oscar A. Lenis‐Rojas is acknowledged for the cover design artwork. More information can be found in the Full Paper by B. Royo and co‐workers.
