Invited for this month's cover picture is the group of Thomas Wirth at Cardiff University (UK). The cover picture shows two structures of triptycenes. In each of these molecules all three aromatic rings are different with the rigid structure of the molecules making them chiral. The two sp -carbons shown in red and green are the stereocentres with defined configuration. These molecules contain the crucial iodine functionality which are utilised to generate hypervalent iodine(III)-catalysts in situ. The authors acknowledge Dr. Yu Wang for the creation of the cover image. Read the full text of their Research Article at 10.1002/open.202200145.
受邀为本月封面图片的是来自英国卡迪夫大学的托马斯·沃斯（Thomas Wirth）团队。该封面图片展示了两个三并苯分子的结构。在这两个分子中，所有三个芳环都是不同的，分子的刚性结构使它们具有手性。以红色和绿色显示的两个 sp 碳原子是立体中心，具有确定的构型。这些分子包含关键的碘官能团，可用于原位生成高价碘（III）催化剂。作者感谢王宇博士创作了封面图片。阅读全文，请访问 10.1002/open.202200145。
