Front Cover: Effect of Alkyl Groups on the Aerobic Peroxidation of Hydrocarbons Catalyzed by Cobalt(III) Alkylperoxo Complexes (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 31/2022)

Abstract

The Front Cover shows the competition for aerobic peroxidation of organic molecules, under ambient conditions, between cobalt(III) alkylperoxo quaterpyridine complexes, [CoIII(OOR′)]2+, with different R′ groups (the structures are shown inside the balloons held by the children). The rate of aerobic RH → ROOH transformation is dependent on the nature of the R′ group in [CoIII(OOR’)]2+ with a descending order of 3o>2o>1o. More information can be found in the Research Article by W.‐L. Man and co‐workers.
