The front cover picture shows a single metal complex that can catalyse asymmetric epoxidation of non‐functionalised olefins as well as the oxidative kinetic resolution of racemic alcohols with great ease. In this way the use of expensive homogeneous catalyst can be maximised by carrying out two asymmetric organic transformations. Details are given in the Full Paper on page 1426 by Sayed H. R. Abdi and co‐workers.
