Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Luigi Cavallo at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and the group of Albert Poater at the University of Girona. The cover image shows CO 2 fixation taking place easily through dimerization of Ir‐based complexes, even though the former CO 2 insertion into an Ir–O bond is the rate‐limiting step.
