The Cover Feature shows an electrostatic‐assisted catalysis of carbon dioxide molecule at an iron porphyrin decorated with cationic functions in the second coordination sphere. Such functions significantly lower the overpotential of the reaction while maintaining high catalytic efficiency. This provides a new way to vault the reactivity pattern of molecular catalysts.
