The Front Cover shows heterogeneous photocatalytic CO 2 reduction on a novel solid support composed of organosilica nanotubes. The surface 2,2’‐bipyridine groups of the nanotube act as chelating ligands to form Re(bpy)(CO) 3 photocatalyst and Ru(bpy) 3 2+ photosensitizer in the pores. The co‐immobilization of these complexes greatly enhances the photocatalytic activity of the material by an efficient electron transfer from the Ru photosensitizer to the Re catalyst on the organosilica nanotube.
