The Cover Feature shows four structures depicting (clockwise from the top‐left corner) a beautiful tetranuclear layered compound, a bis‐ pseudo pentacoordinated palladium moiety, the only known trinuclear thiosemicarbazone palladacycle, and the sandwiched coordination of the potassium cation by small crown ether rings attached to the metallated phenyl enclosures of a dinuclear diphosphine‐bridged palladium complex. All of these unexpected findings put forward the presence of serendipity in the reactivity of palladacycles and highlight the relevance of such an experience in their chemistry. More information can be found in the Review by A. Fernández‐Figueiras et al. on page 754 in Issue 10, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/open.201800036).
