Zusammenfassung:The Cover Feature shows the activation of dioxygen by a masked Mexican wrestler representing a copper(I) complex with tetragonal coordination environment provided by an N4‐ligand. The complex acquires one oxygen atom as part of the ligand after attacking O2, shown as a new red tattoo, with concomitant oxidation of the metal center to copper(II), as displayed on the wrestler's belt. Dioxygen activation at the related tetragonal Cu(I) active site of the copper‐dependent particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) has been disregarded, but the reactivity observed with the reported model system calls for further scrutiny of this possibility. More information can be found in the Research Article by I. Castillo and co‐workers.
