Front Cover: Heterobridged Hexa‐ and Octanuclear Ruthenium‐Thiolate/Halide Wheels: Synthesis, X‐ray Crystal Structure, and Spectroscopic Characterization (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 33/2022)

The Front Cover shows the structure of an octanuclear heterobridged molecular wheel featuring six-coordinate ruthenium ions, terminal CO ligands, and thiolate/iodide mixed bridging ligands. This wheel represents one of the crystallographically characterized {Run(μ-SR)n(μ-X)n}(CO)2n (X=Cl, Br, n=6; X=I, n=8) wheels composed of edge-shared RuC2S2X2 (X=halide) octahedra. The present work demonstrates the construction of hexa- and octanuclear wheels which feature fused Mn(μ-SR)n/Mn(μ-X)n (n=6, 8) metallamacrocycles as well as six-coordinate metal molecular wheels with their metal ions linked by mixed S/X-donor ligands.
