Abstract

Abstract: Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of María A. Garralda at Universidad del País Vasco, San Sebastián, Spain. The cover image shows an anionic dihydridoiridium species formed in methanol from a dihydridoirida‐β‐diketone and hydrogen release from the dihydrido species upon addition of 2‐aminoalkylpyridines to the solution. Hydrogen is transferred from hydroxyl in the solvent to iridium to afford the final hydridoaminodiacyl species. Abstract : We find it most exciting that, in the presence of amines, a hydrido complex forms by transfer of the acidic proton in the alcohol solvent to the metal...
