The cover picture shows that ligand modification on TPA (tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) by COOMe groups that affords a novel molecular catalyst for photo-induced water oxidation. Visible light-driven water oxidation has been achieved with a TON of 127.7 and a TOF of 3.8 s⁻¹ respectively in a homogeneous system. In comparison to the reference cobalt compound with naked TPA, it evidences that ligand modification with COOMe can improve the catalytic efficiency, leading to an effective pathway towards construction of a robust and stable artificial photosynthesis system. This study provides promising results for future design of robust and stable catalyst, which could be incorporated into an efficient artificial photosynthesis system. More details are discussed in the article by Wang et al. on page 757–762.
