Using the reaction‐relevant twodimensional potential energy surface, an accurate reaction‐pathway mapping, and ab inito molecular dynamics (AIMD), Maoping Pu and Timofei Privalov on page 289 show that CO 2 capture by P(tBu) 3 and B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 species has many nearly degenerate reaction routes. The magnitude and timescales of the conformational dynamics of this pair at room temperature and the typical CO 2 binding energy in van der Waals complexes are used to probe an interaction of CO 2 with P(tBu) 3 and B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 with AIMD simulations. The cover art merges snapshots from lowtemperature simulations. Optimized geometries of random snapshots are used to obtain a group of the most stable conformations with diverse positioning and orientation of CO 2 .
