Carboranes as Aryl Mimetics in Catalysis: A Highly Active Zwitterionic NHC‐Precatalyst

Invited for the cover of this issue are the groups of Kirsten Zeitler and Evamarie Hey‐Hawkins at the University of Leipzig. The image depicts the carborane catalyst being a result of a long hatching process that eventually provides the starting point of a new member of the NHC‐catalyst family. Read...

Summary:Invited for the cover of this issue are the groups of Kirsten Zeitler and Evamarie Hey‐Hawkins at the University of Leipzig. The image depicts the carborane catalyst being a result of a long hatching process that eventually provides the starting point of a new member of the NHC‐catalyst family.
