EurJIC is a journal of ChemPubSoc Europe, a union of 16 European chemical societies formed for the pur-pose of publishing high-quality science. All owners merged their national journals to form two leading chemistry journals, the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry and the European Journal of Organic Chemistry.

COVER PICTURE

The cover picture shows the synthesis of novel“metalloviologens” bearing PNP pincer ligandsbased on N-methyl-4,4�-bipyridinium. These com-plexes are stable toward two steps of single elec-tron transfer, where p-quinoid-type complexesplay a key role. The rhodium complex bearing thePNP pincer ligand based on N-methyl-4,4�-bipyr-idinium is also found to work as a catalyst fordihydrogen production under photoinduced elec-tron transfer conditions. Details are discussed inthe article by Y. Miyake, Y. Nishibayashi et al.on p. 4273ff. For more on the story behind thecover research, see the Cover Profile.
