Description
Summary:The cover picture shows the isolation of mono‐, bi‐, and polymetallic complexes derived from 2‐quinolyl‐linked potassium (thiophosphoranyl)methanide by simple metathesis reactions. The four different gear wheels represent four metal complexes. The biggest gear wheel represents the potassium salt, which is a useful synthon for preparing these complexes. By “pushing” the main gear wheel, we are able to isolate various metal complexes with different numbers of metal centers by using the appropriate metal halide; hence, these four gear wheels are in fact interrelated. Details are discussed in the article by W.‐P. Leung et al. on p. 3859 ff. For more on the story behind the cover research, see the Cover Profile.
