Description
Summary:Invited for the cover of this issue are Al Nielson and Joyce Waters from Massey University at Auckland, New Zealand. The cover image shows a titanium–salicylaldimine–oxo polymer being chopped up by an aldehyde molecule into a fiery reactive entity, which, on cooling, gives rise to complexes indicating that both polymer degradation and new carbon‐based chemistry habe taken place. The titanium–salicylaldimine–oxo complexes can be prepared in large quantities and are very cost‐effective when salicyladimine ligands and titanium isopropoxide are the starting materials...
