Abstract
The Front Cover shows a complex of iron supported in a tetrapodal penta‐carbene framework exhibiting an unexpected and rare nonlinear tertbutylisocyanide moiety symbolized by a bent spoon amongst an otherwise normal table setting. The short Fe−C bond of 1.8076(18) Å, an Fe−C−N bond angle of 169.63(16)° and a bond angle of 142.67(18)° about the isocyanide nitrogen atom are consistent with sp and sp2 hybridization, respectively. These metrics are consistent with the carbenic resonance form of isocyanide bonding that is induced by excellent π‐backbonding and rarely observed at iron; thereby exemplifying the excellent donor ability of our penta‐carbene ligand. More information can be found in the Research Article by J. J. Scepaniak and co‐workers.
