The cover picture shows the novel dicarbene iridium(III) complex and oxygen evolution as a result of its catalytic action under visible light irradiation. This is one key goal HELIOS strategic project, targeting new molecules nanomaterials for solar energy schemes, represented by fullerene sunflower logo. Dr. Rami Al-Oweini (ITM-CNR Postdoctoral Fellow) acknowledged his creative design putting together illustration. Details are discussed in article C. Tubaro, M. Bonchio et al. on p. 665 ff.
