Cover Picture: Structural Preferences in Phosphanylthiolato Platinum(II) Complexes (ChemistryOpen 1/2016)

چکیده
The cover picture shows phosphanylthiolate ligand coordination on a platinum(II) center to give only the bischelate cis-P,P isomer when the ligand/Pt ratio is 2, whereas a trinuclear unexpected complex is achieved with a ligand/Pt ratio of 1. Here, the synthesis and structural determination is combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations to rationalize the reaction mechanistically and through conceptual DFT. The exciting point of this study is that it opens the door to test new experimental pathways to monitor the preferred cis or trans arrangement of bidentate ligands to platinum. (Legend: H-white, C-black, P-purple, S-yellow, Cl-green, Pt-blue.) More information can be found in the Full Paper by Alfonso Polo, Albert Poater et al. on page 51 in Issue 1, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/open.201500136).

COVER PICTURE Lando P. Wolters and F. Matthias Bickelhaupt* The cover picture illustrates the authors' quantum chemical finding that π electrons can significantly bend otherwise linear d(10)-ML2 complexes through backbonding. The foreground features a typical series of linear and nonlinear computed equilibrium geometries, while, in the background, one discerns quantitative numerical output of t...

The Front Cover picture shows structures of the key compounds and the change in the fluorescence. Although electron-donating and -accepting groups of monocyclic 5-N,N-diarylaminothiazoles are not in the same plane but highly deviated, they show relatively strong fluorescence from blue to orange. In particular, the addition of Brønsted and Lewis acids to 5-N,N-diaryl-2-(4-pyridyl)thiazoles shift...
