The front cover artwork is provided by a team of researchers from the Universities of Mainz and Rostock. The image shows the molecular structure of the Cr III photosensitizer [Cr(ddpd) 2 ] 3+ which enables C−H bond activation of tertiary amines through generation of singlet oxygen from air and light. Ultrafast intersystem crossing precludes intermolecular nonselective photoredox reactions and allows a selective photochemical pathway through singlet oxygen formation.
