Invited for this month′s cover is the group of Prof. Michael Mehring. The cover picture shows the degradation of the model dye rhodamine B (RhB) in water using β‐Bi 2 O 3 nanoparticles as photocatalyst, which was prepared from pre‐organized bismuth oxido clusters. For more details, see the Full Paper on p. 146 ff. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/open.201300013
