The cover picture shows the olefin hydrogenation reaction inside the porous structure of AEPF‐1, a calcium‐based metal–organic framework (MOF). In their Communication on page 147 ff., Gutiérrez‐Puebla et al. describe the preparation and studies of this material, which is a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the hydrogenation of styrene to form ethylbenzene under mild conditions. The calcium‐based MOF is a comparatively cheap and green alternative to conventional precious metal‐based alkene hydrogenation catalysts.
