Abstract

Invited for this month's cover are Takahiro Tsuchiya and Yasuhiro Mazaki, and their colleague Yuka Katsuoka, from Kitasato University, Japan, along with collaborators from Bruker Japan (Kenji Yoza) and Rigaku Corporation (Hiroyasu Sato). The cover picture shows the twisted structure of 2,2'-di(pyridin-4-yl)-1,1'-biazulenes, which form a 3:3 cyclic complex with PdCl₂ . The rotation of the bonds at the 1,1'-positions of the azulene subunits was padlocked by the complexation. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/cplu.201900262.
