Graphical Abstract Iminium Catalysis The cover illustrates a well-known episode from “Journey to the West”. This narrative closely aligns with the central theme of the Research Article by Chunyu Wang and Sulei Zhang (10.1002/adsc.70214). Specifically, the “yin” and “yang” elements within the furnace serve as a metaphor for the complementary roles of amine catalysts and strong acids in the iminium catalytic system.
