The Cover Feature shows two copper complexes generated from the redox‐active pincer ligand bis(di‐ tert ‐butyl‐aniline)amine. Both exhibit a rich redox chemistry whereby both the ligand and the metal can store and release electrons. They can additionally undergo a redox‐triggered inter‐conversion. Carbon nanotubes were functionalized by one complex, affording an electrocatalyst for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to water. More information can be found in the Full Paper by N. Leconte, A.
