The Cover Feature shows the ligand‐exchange‐based molecular restructuring process of an azobenzene‐functionalized macroscopic solid surface. Polydopamine‐supported gold nanoparticles not only provide sufficient free volume for the reversible azobenzene photoisomerization, but also facilitate the ligand‐exchange process between differently substituted molecular switches. More information can be found in the Full Paper by G. London and co‐workers (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201900674).
