Chiral Self‐Sorting of <i>trans</i>‐Chelating Chiral Ligands upon Formation of Pd^II Complexes

Abstract

Abstract Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Arne Lützen at the University of Bonn, Germany. The cover image shows two dissymmetric bis(3‐pyridyl) ligands based on a planar chiral pseudo ‐ortho ‐disubstituted [2.2]paracyclophane scaffold. Upon forming a mononuclear [ML 2 ] complex with palladium(II) ions, these ligands act in a trans ‐chelating manner and undergo complete chiral self‐sorting.
