The cover picture shows dendrimer‐encapsulated Pd nanoparticles (NPs), anchored within a continuous‐flow microreactor, that efficiently catalyze the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling (SMC) of iodobenzene and p‐tolylboronic acid. The different dendrimer generations employed in this study are represented by the size and the ramification of the trees. Pd NPs are entrapped within the trees along the shore, which is “washed” by the river, symbolizing the laminar flow within the microreactor. In their Full Paper, R. Ricciardi et al. show the influence of the dendrimer generation on the catalytic activity of the Pd NPs. The article highlighted by this cover can be found on p. 936 ff. of Issue 6, 2015.
