Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue are the groups of Yann Sarazin at the University of Rennes and Laura Falivene at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. The image depicts two barium figures working in tandem to mimic the dinuclear nature of the active species in the catalytic cycle described in the manuscript.
