The Inside Back Cover picture shows the inspiration for water oxidation catalysis (WOC), that is, the light reaction of photosynthesis that produces O 2 , H + , and e − through the use of solar energy, next to a functional mimic of nature's oxygen‐evolving complex: a new dinuclear ruthenium complex that has been designed for high activity in WOC, both chemically and electrochemically. The beneficial effect of the ligand carboxylate functions on the catalytic activity and a thorough characterization of the system are discussed in the Communication by Sander et al. (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201403344 ).
