Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue are Oldamur Hollóczki and co-workers at the Universities of Bonn, Ghent and Debrecen. The image depicts the search of an ionic base for the acidic proton of an imidazolium cation in order to form a carbene complex. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/chem.202203636.
