Abstract

Abstract : The back cover picture shows water‐soluble homoscorpionates of the tris(pyrazol‐1‐yl)methane type and their water‐soluble metal complexes. These C‐scorpionate metal complexes act as efficient catalysts for the oxidative functionalization of inert and abundant alkanes under mild conditions to yield added‐value products, as well as for other synthetically relevant reactions, such as C‐C couplings. They can also be applied as antiproliferative and antimicrobial agents. Details are presented in the Microreview by L. M. D. R. S. Martins and A. J. L. Pombeiro onp. 2236 ff .
