The cover picture shows the formation of a novel discrete tetranuclear copper complex using a new multinucleating ligand containing pendant hydroxyl groups as proton dissociation sites. Reported is the utility of this copper complex in the electrocatalytic water splitting reaction. Also shown is the catalytic conversion of water molecules (depicted as under seawater) into dioxygen (bubbles). Details are given in the Full Paper by S. Masaoka et al. on page 1131 in Issue 10, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201600322).
