title: Mild and Robust Redox-Neutral Pd/C-Catalyzed Lignol β-O-4' Bond Cleavage Through a Low-Energy-Barrier Pathway.
abstract: Invited for this month's cover is the group of Joseph Samec at Uppsala University. The image shows that native lignin β-O-4' bond model compounds react at very mild and accurately tuned redox-neutral conditions while other models have higher hydrogen and temperature demands.
