The Front Cover is an artistic representation of the hydrophobicity of organohybrid silicas protecting a water‐sensitive catalytic phase. In their Full Paper, M. Dierks et al. demonstrate a correlation between the performance and stability of nickel phosphide and support surface polarity. To prevent the nickel phosphide phase from deactivation in the hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol, the affinity of the organohybrid silica towards polar substances must be decreased below a threshold value, as found by inverse gas chromatography measurements. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Dierks et al. on page 2219 in Issue 10, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201702001).
