The Cover Feature shows the electrochemical water oxidation ability in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) of two different Ni II porphyrins with varying electron‐donating ability. Complex B is kinetically and thermodynamically favored and achieves a better OER onset potential and current than complex A . The steric group 3,5‐di‐ tert ‐butylphenyl on complex B plays a decisive role in this performance. The OER activities of the complexes are correlated with their molecular arrangement as well as their bonding characteristics and dipole moments. More information can be found in the Full Paper by V.
