The cover picture shows the principal reaction routes of oxide‐supported monometallic particles upon oxidative and reductive treatments. In their respective Review, S. Penner and M. Armbrüster discuss the origin and manifestation of reactive metal‐support interaction as a new type of metal‐support interaction. In selected examples, the structural and catalytic consequences are highlighted. This new term not only more accurately describes the most extreme form of metal‐support interaction, that is, intermetallic compound formation following high‐temperature reduction of supported metal‐oxide catalysts, but also shows the importance of the metal‐support boundary region for active and selective bifunctional synergistic catalytic action. The article highlighted by this cover can be found on p. 374 ff. of Issue 3, 2015.
