The Front Cover refers to the complex mechanism underlying the dissociation of CO on a cobalt nanoparticle, a reaction pivotal to Fischer‐Tropsch synthesis. In their Communication, W. Chen et al. probed the direct CO dissociation on Co catalysts using isotopic scrambling and in situ infrared spectroscopy, which led to the conclusion that CO dissociation does not require H atoms. More information can be found in the Communication by W. Chen et al. on page 136 in Issue 1, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201701203).
