The front cover artwork is provided by the groups of Prof. N. Koch and Prof. S. Hecht. The image shows an artist′s view of a photochromic diarylethene molecule on a gold surface. The molecule undergoes a photoisomerization process upon irradiation with light. Ring‐opening and ring‐closure reactions proceed reversibly and modify the energy levels available for interfacial charge and energy transfer.
