Abstract

Abstract: Invited for the cover of this issue are Peter Chen and Stefan Jungen at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) in Zürich. The image depicts a table‐top firework with the tip of an ion guide used in mass spectrometers that spits out the products of a homolitic substitution reaction between iron(II) and trialkylsulfonium species.
