The cover picture shows water being repelled by oxo‐Mo IV complexes of types I–III. The picture, inspired by the Bible story of Moses parting the Red Sea, is a visual metaphor for the inability of water to enter the coordination sphere and to generate H‐bond‐stabilized cis‐oxo(aqua)‐Mo IV complexes when cis ‐Tp i Pr MoO 2 (OAr‐R) (R = H‐bond donor/acceptor) complexes react with phosphanes. Instead, partial or complete oxygen‐atom transfer results with the generation of oxo(phosphoryl)‐Mo IV species (I) or novel oxo‐MoI IV complexes containing tightly bound, bidentate O,O ′‐donor chelates (II, III), some of which retain the phosphane oxide by‐product (III). The synthesis and characterization of complexes of types I–III are reported in the article by C. G. Young et al. on p. 3261 ff.
