Abstract:
Invited for this month's cover are collaborators from the University of Aveiro, the NOVA University of Lisbon (Faculty of Science and Technology-FCT) and the Complutense University of Madrid. The cover picture shows the crystal structure of a PdII derivative belonging to a new family of metal complexes supported by meso-tetraaryl-substituted porphyrin ligands. The liquid crystal behaviour of a PdII complex is shown at centre of the picture. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/cplu.201500557.
