The cover picture shows the catalytic oxidation of water by a novel, weakly coupled binuclear complex of the type [Ru V 2 (O) 2 (bpy) 2 (L)] 6+ , where L is the angular bridging ligand 1,3‐bis(4'‐2,2':6',2''‐terpyridin‐4‐yl)benzene. This “Pacman‐like” molecule has an appetite for water molecules (oxidizes them to O 2 ) and, with a k cat (O 2 ) about 20 times that of the corresponding mononuclear complex, demonstrates significant cooperation between Ru sites. Details are discussed in the article by K. Araki et al. (DOI: 10.1002/ejic.201600889 ). For more on the story behind the cover research, see the Cover Profile (DOI: 10.1002/ejic.201601446 ).
