The Front Cover shows the Palais Saint Georges (in Rennes, France, where the presented work was performed). Like every summer night, projectors shine nice pictures on this 400‐year‐old palace. We have decided to shine our helically chiral N ‐heterocyclic carbene‐gold(I) complexes on it. These chiral complexes possess attractive features coming from the presence of the [5]helicenic moiety, such as strong circular dichroism activity, dual emission and moderate circularly polarized phosphorescence with a timescale up to the millisecond range at room temperature.
