The Cover Feature shows the “ Vitruvian Man ”, a drawing made by the universal genius Leonardo da Vinci around 1490. For more than five centuries the mysteries carried out by this picture have been discussed in mathematics, arts, alchemy, and philosophy. At the dawn of amazing chemical direct modifications of C–H bonds, the last decade has also seen fierce discussions on the role of “magic” palladium for C–X bond formation. Mechanistic investigations by “ Vitruvian Chemists ” revealed only a small, but fantastic, piece of the mysterious C–H fluorination and related halogenations.
