Cover Feature: Structural Elucidation, Aggregation, and Dynamic Behaviour of N,N,N,N‐Copper(I) Schiff Base Complexes in Solid and in Solution: A Combined NMR, X‐ray Spectroscopic and Crystallographic Investigation (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 46/2021)

Abstract

The Cover Feature shows Cu(I) complexes illustrated as extra‐terrestrial beings in space. The celestial bodies are the heterocyclic motifs of the ligands and the spectroscopic techniques that shed light on the coordination environment of copper. In analogy to the tale of two kids hiding under one trench coat in order to pass as a taller adult, two complexes are stapled, forming a dimer. Next to them sits a monomeric structure. The aggregation behavior of Cu(I) complexes was studied. The cover art was designed by Knut T. Hylland and Vincent Meier. More information can be found in the Full Paper by S. DeBeer, M. Amedjkouh and co‐workers.
