The Cover Feature shows how quantum chemical calculations help design novel Ir III complexes exhibiting improved photophysical properties: the use of different substituents (a–g) at specific positions prevents not only the red shift of the emission, but also the self‐aggregation. Both phenomena are well known to contribute to the downgrading of Ir III ‐based luminescent devices. This work opens new possibilities for the smart design of luminescent compounds with optimized properties. More information can be found in the Full Paper by R. Q. Albuquerque et al.
