48_30/2009Cover Picture: An Enantiomerically Pure Alleno-Acetylenic Macrocycle: Synthesis and Rationalization of Its Outstanding Chiroptical Response (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 30/2009)

Enantiopure, Shape-Persistent alleno-acetylenic macrocycles are prepared from optically pure 1,3-diethynylallene building blocks, as F. Diederich et al. report in their Communication on page 5545 ff. These macrocycles with their crown geometry and chiral C28 backbone are not only aesthetically pleasing, they also display unusually intense Cotton effects in their circular dichroism spectra, which arise from the unique interplay of the shape-persistent geometry and electronic properties.

Metallacyclesfor003

In their Communication on page 5430 ff., H. Xia and co-workers describe the unprecedented formal [4+2] cycloaddition reaction between a 1-metalla-1,3-diene and a nitrile, which affords examples of late-transition-metal-containing metallapyridine and metallapyridinium.
