description

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Arne Lutzen at the University of Bonn, Germany. The cover image shows two dissymmetric bis(3-pyridyl) ligands based on a planar chiral pseudo-ortho-disubstituted [2.2]paracyclophane scaffold. Upon forming a mononuclear [ML2] complex with palladium(II) ions, these ligands act in a trans-chelating manner and undergo complete chiral self-sorting.
