Abstract:
Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Masayuki Nihei at the University of Tsukuba. The image depicts the electron transfer-triggered structural conversion of the supramolecular assembly of a [Co2 Fe2 ] complex between reverse vesicles and entangled one-dimensional chains.

Selection Rules: Thermal Activation
Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
