The cover picture shows the reaction pathways available to Ru 3 (CO) 10 (dppe) in the catalytic hydrogenation of diphyenylacetylene, as elucidated by parahydrogen‐assised NMR spectroscopy. The cluster leads to catalytic hydrogenation via a detected vinyl hydride intermediate, but fragments in low polarity solvents. Details are discussed in the article by S. B. Duckett et al. on p. 4381 ff. We thank Universities UK (ORS award), Bruker Biospin UK and The University of York for financial support.
