Cover Picture: Structurally Defined Molecular Hypervalent Iodine Catalysts for Intermolecular Enantioselective Reactions (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1/2016)

The monumental “Elegy to the Horizon” by the Basque artist Eduardo Chillida oversees the Atlantic coast at the town of Gijón (Asturias, Spain). A similar structural shape is involved in the enantiodiscrimination of alkenes through a chiral iodine(III) catalyst. In their Communication on page 413 ff.... View More
