The Cover Feature shows a symbolical train which transports new palladium‐carbon nanocatalysts obtained by thermolysis of Pd‐MOF material. The train climbs to overcome the activation barrier of the catalytic phenylacetylene hydrogenation. The studies were performed in Wrocław, where the characteristic buildings shown in the picture are located. In their Full Paper, A. W. Augustyniak and A. M. Trzeciak described new opportunities to use [Pd(pymo) 2 ] n MOF as a platform for the fabrication of palladium nanocatalysts, highly selective in the transfer hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes. The Pd/CPYMO converted phenylacetylene to styrene with 99% selectivity in water at 40 °C.More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. W. Augustyniak and A. M. Trzeciak..
