Front Cover : The first protic‐acid‐free oxygen‐oxidative polymerization of diphenyl disulfide to yield poly(1,4‐phenylene sulfide), catalyzed by a vanadyl complex and a borate compound, is accomplished. Triphenylmethylium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, having a non‐coordinating anion, is especially effective for the polymerization. Catalysis by the tetrafluoroborate salt is established at elevated temperatures where the anion is found to be less coordinative. Further details can be found in the article by F. Aida, S. Yamaguchi, Y. Takatori, K. Nagamatsu, D. Kiyokawa, K. Oyaizu,* and H. Nishide,* on page 1850.
