The Cover Feature shows how N‐Me Ru pincer complex “outweighs” its N‐H analogue in the hydrogen generation reaction from formic acid. In their Full Paper, A. Agapova et al. compared the reactivity of two ruthenium PNP catalysts for the dehydrogenation of formic acid at different pH values. Under all investigated conditions, the N‐methylated complex showed improved performance compared to non‐methylated one, and the highest TOF was observed in acidic environment. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. Agapova et al. on page 1911 in Issue 7, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201801897).
