The Front Cover shows a light switch with the mono‐oxidized [CpRu II (dppe)(taae)] {(Cp = η 5 ‐C 5 H 5 , dppe = 1,2‐(PPh 2 ) 2 ‐C 2 H 4 , taae = 10‐ethynyl‐ N , N ‐di‐ p ‐tolylanthracen‐9‐amine)} on the upper “ON” side and the dication on the lower “OFF” part. The light switch is turned on with the appearance of light, whose intensity decreases with every step to the bottom of the picture. Turning the switch on leads to a one‐electron reduction, whereas turning the switch off oxidizes the molecule – this process is repeatable and shows the “switchable” properties of the dye. More information can be found in the Communication by A. Hildebrandt et al. For more on the story behind the cover research, see the Cover Profile .
