Front Cover : The exploitation of chemiluminescence (CL) as an effective light source for making and breaking covalent bonds in photochemical reactions is introduced by Christopher Barner‐Kowollik and co‐workers in article number 1800516 , establishing the field of chemiluminescence‐induced photochemistry. The authors demonstrate the concept of CL as a versatile photon source using the example of the cleavage of a photoinitiator as well as a [2+2] cycloaddition, leading to high functional group conversions. With the establishment of CL‐driven chemistry, a wide range of possible applications in photochemistry, biology, and biomedicine is opened.
