Front Cover: Advancing Air‐ and Moisture‐Compatible s‐Block Organometallic Chemistry Using Sustainable Solvents (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 31/2021)

Abstract

The Front Cover shows the special connection created between two distinct and, until now, very distant worlds. These are Polar s-Block Organometallics (fire), which traditionally require highly restrictive reaction conditions (low temperatures, inert atmosphere, meticulously dry organic and non-protic reaction media), and Sustainable Solvents such as DESs or water (Green Chemistry), which enable the efficient use of these reagents in air, in the presence of moisture and ambient temperatures. The authors thank the GEQO group of the Spanish Royal Chemical Society (RSEQ) for the invitation to contribute to the RSEQ-GEQO Prize-Winners special collection. More information can be found in the Minireview by E. Hevia, J. García-Álvarez and co-workers.
