The Cover Feature shows a Ferris wheel as a metaphor for the simple nickel complexes of acac and acetate, which catalyse oxygenation of dppe by O 2 directly from air. The reaction is inhibited by insoluble 1D coordination polymer formation: first by a metastable phase containing the substrate bridging between Ni centers, and finally by a phase containing the diphosphine‐dioxide product. Inhibition by product means that the ride is for just a few turns – just like the reaction. Cover design by Dr. Vibe Jakobsen. More information can be found in the Full Paper by C. J. McKenzie et al.
