Abstract

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Dr. Hisashi Shimakoshi at Kyushu University, Japan. The front cover shows "le mariage" of an iridium complex and a vitamin B₁₂ derivative with two wedding rings in the background. This collaboration of two complexes is induced by visible light in the presence of air to achieve green molecular transformations. This protocol was applied to the synthesis of amides from a wide range of trichlorinated organic compounds. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/cplu.201800522.
