Cover Feature: Structural Characteristics of a Partially Planarized Triarylmethyl Cation with Unsymmetrical Push–Pull Structure (Chem. Eur. J. 20/2025)
The Cover Feature shows a Japanese-style garden composed of the molecular structures of π-cation species and counter anions, packing structures depending on counter anions, and outlines of absorption spectra. In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202404054), M. Ito, Y. Kubo and co-workers explain how they synthesized and isolated push–pull-type π-cation salts with sufficient stability. The unique structure affects the packing structures and optical properties.
