- Abstract
Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Zeev Gross at the Technion‐Israel Institute of Technology. The image, designed by Qiu‐Cheng Chen and Zeev Gross, was inspired by space walking and depicts rhodium(I) floating between the five nitrogen atoms of sapphyrin and how this affects chirality of the corresponding complex. Here the first co‐author, Q.‐C. Chen, shares some insights. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/chem.201804138. "The mechanism of enantiomerization was thought to be "flip‐through" initially; however, a more reasonable "walking" mechanism was disclosed after examining many alternative mechanisms, which was time‐consuming but truly surprised us." Read more about the story behind the cover in the Cover Profile and about the research itself on page 17255 ff. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.201804138).
