Cover Feature: Chirality at Metal in a Linear [Ag(NHC)2]+ Complex: Stereogenic C−Ag−C Axis, Atropisomerism and Role of π-π Interactions (Chem. Eur. J. 64/2024)

Abstract

A pioneering example of linear chirality-at-metal: The concept of metal-centered chirality is no longer limited to octahedral, tetrahedral and square-planar geometries. Our design induces the formation of a stereogenic C−Ag−C axis as a consequence of atropisomerism. More importantly, π–π interactions, both in solution and the solid state, are crucial in preserving the chiral information. More information can be found in the Research Article by P. J. Sanz Miguel and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202403239).
