Cover Feature: Isolation and Characterization of [MnFe(CO)<sub>10</sub>]<sup>+</sup>: The Missing Link in the 3 <i>d</i> Dimetal Decacarbonyl Series (Chem. Eur. J. 23/2025)
The molecular structures of the complexes [CrMn(CO)10]− and [MnFe(CO)10]+ complete the series of dimetal decacarbonyls reaching from [Cr2(CO)10]2− to [Fe2(CO)10]2+. In our interpretation of the Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, a chemist is hiking through the dimetal-decacarbonyl landscape, discovering the hidden heterodinuclear complexes in the fog. The fog also highlights the misty borderline situation between covalent and Lewis-pair bonding, onto which light is ornately shed. In the background, the vibrational mountain range of the title compound shows its peaks. More information can be found in the Research Article by I. Krossing and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202500489).
