The Inside Back Cover shows the synthetic process of a solid catalyst, Mn‐POP, and its ability to catalyze olefin epoxidation when oxygen acts as the oxidizer. The top of the picture shows that the catalyst was prepared by privileged salen(Mn) and 1,3,5‐triethynylbenzene monomers. The blue sky, white clouds, and sunshine were adopted as the background of the picture to indicate the “green” character of the catalyst. At the bottom of the picture the “hills” with many holes represent the porous nature of the catalyst. In their Full Paper, Lin, Cao, and co‐workers show that the olefin was catalytically transformed into the epoxide in the porous catalyst when O 2 acts as the oxidizer and isobutylaldehyde serves as the sacrificial reductant. The article highlighted by this cover can be found on p. 2340 ff. of Issue 15, 2015.
