The Front Cover shows the dioxobilin‐type pink chlorophyll catabolite, a pincer‐type ligand that efficiently chelates zinc(II) ions in a tridentate manner. The resulting blue Zn complex shows chelation enhanced bright red fluorescence and UV/Vis spectroscopic properties differing remarkably in methanol and acetonitrile. Density functional theory studies gave insights into the low energy structures and the origin of the diverging spectral features. More information can be found in the Full Paper by C. Li, M. Podewitz, and B. Kräutler.
