The Front Cover shows some of the reaction intermediates involved in the conversion of a tricyclic naphtene, perhydrophenanthrene, over a bifunctional Pt/faujasite (USY) catalyst. In their Full Paper, L. Brito et al. analyze the reaction pathways, which first lead to isomerization products, then to ring‐opening and finally to cracking products. A detailed and exhaustive analysis of all reaction intermediates is made possible thanks to the use of GCxGC analysis of the reactor effluents. The reactivity pattern is rationalized by established rules of carbocation chemistry. More information can be found in the Full Paper by L. Brito et al.
