Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue are Sudipta Roy and co-workers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Tirupati. The image depicts the rearrangement of cyclic alkyl(amino) carbene (cAAC)-supported chloro-phosphinidenes affording two ligands, of which one was used for the solid-state isolation of three cyclic alkyl(amino-boryl) phosphaalkenes and two coinage metal clusters.
