The Cover Feature illustrates the reaction mechanism of Cp*Ir III complexes with varying pyridine‐alkoxide ligands in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In their Full Paper, E. V. Sackville et al. demonstrate there are electronic ligand effects at play and describe a dimer‐monomer equilibrium of the Ir IV resting state preceding a proton‐coupled electron transfer (PCET) in the turnover‐limiting step (TLS). More information can be found in the Full Paper by E. V. Sackville et al. on page 4280 in Issue 19, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201800916).
