The Cover shows an industrial landscape, where Au nanoparticles are used as catalysts for oxidation reactions.In their Full Paper, L. M. D. R. de Sousa Martins et al. demonstrate an efficient single‐pot oxidative functionalization of cyclohexane and benzyl and methylbenzyl alcohols under mild conditions with high selectivity, catalyzed by reusable Au nanoparticles on Al 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , ZnO, and TiO 2 . Au nanoparticles on Fe 2 O 3 led to an unusual almost exclusive formation of cyclohexanol by control of reaction time, but Au nanoparticles on TiO 2 had a remarkable catalytic effect on acetophenone yield.
