Description
Summary:Invited for the cover of this issue is Raúl García‐Rodríguez and co‐workers at Universidad de Valladolid and University of Cambridge. The image depicts the formation of a chiral‐at‐aluminium aluminate by the stepwise reaction of two different alcohols and it is a tribute to the oneiric worlds of surrealist painter René Magritte. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/chem.201803342. “This work shows that tris‐pyridyl ligands can be used as a scaffold to more complex systems, opening a new venue of supramolecular chemistry and the development and tailoring of a new generation of aluminate ligands…” Read more about the story behind the cover in the Cover Profile and about the research itself on page 17019 ff.
