The cover picture shows a stylized potential energy surface landscape of thianthrenium anisole that undergoes cleavage upon electron transfer (DET). Understanding the different factors that govern the energy landscape is key to fine‐tune DET kinetics, a necessary requirement to use these processes as a chemical tool in selective and sustainable organic synthesis.
