The cover picture shows the influence of the structure of a sulfonated phosphane on the performance of the Pd‐based catalysts employed in this study. These complexes catalyze ethene polymerization without the need of activation, yielding linear polyethene. The introduction of steric hindrance in the catalyst scaffold results in lower molecular weights and lower activities. Details are discussed in the article by J. M. Claverie et al. on p. 4595 ff.
