Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Yoshiaki Nishibayashi at The University of Tokyo, Japan. The cover image shows the synthesis of novel “metalloviologens” bearing PNP pincer ligands based on N ‐methyl‐4,4′‐bipyridinium. These complexes are stable toward two steps of single electron transfer, where p ‐quinoid‐type complexes play a key role.
