The cover picture shows a neutral rhodium complex [Rh(NHC)(cod)Cl] (NHC = N‐heterocyclic carbene) catalyzing the hydrosilylation/cyclization of 1,6‐enynes and HSiR 3 (R 3 = Et 3 and PhMe 2 ) to form 2‐methyl‐1‐silylmethylidene‐2‐cyclopentanes in high yields. Details are described in the Short Communication by Y. K. Chung et al. on p. 4341 ff.
