The Front Cover shows two structures of triptycenes. In each of these molecules all three aromatic rings are different with the rigid structure of the molecules making them chiral. The two sp 3 ‐carbons shown in red and green are the stereocenters with defined configuration. These molecules contain the crucial iodine functionality which are utilised to generate hypervalent iodine(III)‐catalysts in situ . The authors acknowledge Dr. Yu Wang for the creation of the cover image. More information can be found in the Research Article by Nasim Khan et al.
