Description
Summary:Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Luigi Cavallo at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and the group of Albert Poater at the University of Girona. The cover image shows CO sub(2) fixation taking place easily through dimerization of Ir-based complexes, even though the former CO sub(2) insertion into an Ir-O bond is the rate-limiting step. The most exciting feature of the paper is that it opens the door to test new experimental pathways to insert CO sub(2)into metal-oxygen, metal-nitrogen, or the even more difficult metal-carbon bonds...Read more about the story behind the cover in the Cover Profile and about the research itself on .
