The Cover Feature shows a “chromium cowboy” wrangling dinitrogen in one of the many scenic valleys of Montana, USA. This Minireview provides a comprehensive analysis of dinitrogen coordination chemistry and molecular catalytic systems using chromium for the activation and functionalization of dinitrogen. Historically, chromium does not readily form N 2 coordination compounds like the other group 6 metals. Recent advances in the field of Cr‐N 2 chemistry have begun to illuminate this elusive relationship. Special thanks to Ms. Rachel Stephens for composing the wonderfully scenic cover graphic. More information can be found in the Minireview by A. J. Kendall and M. T. Mock.
