The Cover Feature shows a palladium thiosemicarbazone complex exhibiting electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen production in organic solvents. The HER reactivity is of ligand‐assisted metal‐centered type. The proposed catalytic mechanism involves ligand‐based reduction and protonation followed by metal‐centered processes for subsequent hydrogen evolution. These successive events are highlighted by the colored arrows of our artwork, pointing at both the palladium center and the hydrazone nitrogen atom. We thank Dr. Sylvain Bertaina for his assistance in the design of the cover illustration. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Orio et al.
