The Front Cover shows a variety of multinuclear copper hydride complexes supported by polyphosphine ligands, some of which catalyze hydrogenation of CO 2 affording formate salts and dehydrogenation of formic acid into H 2 and CO 2 . The reactivity of hydride ligands delicately varies depending on their environments. Multinuclear copper hydride scaffolds would deserve a next frontier exploring new functions with green sustainable dihydrogen energy by cooperative effects of base metallic copper centers, and lead to atomically precise copper nanoparticles.
