Invited for this month's cover picture is Robert Francke from the University of Rostock (Germany) and R. Daniel Little from the University of California Santa Barbara (USA). The cover picture highlights the catalytic effect of heterogeneous electron transfers on chemical reactions of organic molecules (“electrochemical catalysis”). A comparison is shown between the typical energy profile of a thermally induced reaction and the corresponding electrochemically catalyzed transformation using the example of the Newman‐Kwart rearrangement.
