The front cover artwork is provided by Jaqueline Leib, the Laboratoire de Génie des Procédés Catalytiques (UMR CNRS 5285, Université de Lyon/CPE Lyon) and the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers. The image shows the transformation of citronellol (main constituent of the essential oil from geranium, Pelargonium graveolens ) by photo‐oxygenation to give rose oxide, a floral green note, with a strong, diffusive rose scent. The productivity as well as the safety of the process was improved using a photo‐microreactor. Read the full text of the Communication at 10.1002/cptc.201800201.
