Copper oxide subnanoparticles with sizes of ∼ 1 nm , which were prepared using a dendritic phenylazomethine template, exhibit the lowest Cu II →Cu I reduction temperature directly observed by in situ XAFS measurements during temperature‐programmed reduction (TPR) with H 2 . The CuO particles with low atomicity easily release oxygen atoms because of their surface‐strained structure and the unprecedented elongation of their Cu−O bonds. More information can be found in the Communication by M. Tanabe, K. Yamamoto et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202100508).
