Front Cover: π‐Complexes of Main‐Group Metal Cations: Exploration of Lewis Acid Reactivity (ChemistryEurope 6/2025)

The Front Cover shows a Ge and a Sn apple, each elegantly served on a squared plate—representing a planar C2P2 ring—which symbolize a π-complex of a main-group cation, specifically a pyramidane. Their enticing Lewis acidity attracts fluoride flies and chloride hummingbirds, while a sneaky phosphorus ylide raccoon is ready to steal them away. The fruit–plate combination illustrates the unique reactivity and coordination behavior of these π-bound pyramidanes. More information can be found in the Research Article by P. Coburger and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/ceur.202500199). Artwork by Dr. Christoph Selg.

Abstract

The Front Cover shows a Ge and a Sn apple, each elegantly served on a squared plate—representing a planar C2P2 ring—which symbolize a π-complex of a main-group cation, specifically a pyramidane. Their enticing Lewis acidity attracts fluoride flies and chloride hummingbirds, while a sneaky phosphorus ylide raccoon is ready to steal them away. The fruit–plate combination illustrates the unique reactivity and coordination behavior of these π-bound pyramidanes. More information can be found in the Research Article by P. Coburger and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/ceur.202500199). Artwork by Dr. Christoph Selg.
