The Cover shows the heterogeneously‐catalyzed liquid‐phase selective oxidation with O 2 by a hexagonal SrMnO 3 perovskite material. In their Full Paper, S. Kawasaki et al. explain that the SrMnO 3 ‐catalyzed oxidation is significantly accelerated by the presence of O 2 in sharp contrast with typical manganese oxide‐based catalysts. The reversible reaction on the surface Mn species on hexagonal SrMnO 3 with O 2 leads to the formation of Mn‐superoxo species, which catalyze the selective oxidative transformation of various types of organic substrates into the desired oxygenated or dehydrogenated products. Our results show that the perovskite material plays an important role in O 2 activation and its activity for liquid‐phase selective oxidation. More information can be found in the Full Paper by S. Kawasaki et al. on page 3247 in Issue 20, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201600613).
