The Front Cover shows an “O 2 grasshopper” captured by two “Copper scorpions” using their strong claws and tails (outer‐sphere hydrogen bonds). As the key intermediate in the biological oxygenation, the trans ‐1,2‐peroxodicopper adduct was mimicked by a variety of molecular copper complexes. The structure‐activity models of hydrogen‐bond‐assisted tetradentate copper(I) chloride and trans ‐1,2‐peroxodicopper complexes were established, and fundamental insights on the mimics were obtained.
