Abstract

The article titled "Front Cover: The Molecular Structures of Lithium Trichlate, Li[Cl3CSO3] ⋅ 2H2O, and Lithium Tribrate, Li[Br3CSO3] ⋅ 2H2O" in the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry discusses the molecular structures of two compounds, lithium trichlate and lithium tribrate. These compounds have anions that are similar to the well-known triflate anion. The compounds have a dimeric structure, with the anions, lithium cations, and water molecules arranged into dimers. The article highlights the rarity of trichlates and tribrates, with the depicted lithium tribrate being only the second known tribrate. The article provides more information on these compounds in a research article by M. S. Wickleder and co-workers.
