Front Cover: Synthesis and Characterization of the Hexafluoridomolybdates(V) A[MoF6] (A = Li – Cs) (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 19/2020). Issue 19 (6th May 2020) - Stene, Riane E.
Abstract : The Front Cover shows a typical fluorine chemist synthesizing lithium hexafluoridomolybdate(V), Li[MoF6 ]. A section of the crystal structure of Li[MoF6 ] is shown in the background. Li[MoF6 ] was obtained in this work by dissolving equal amounts of molybdenum pentafluoride and lithium fluoride in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. A great deal of thanks goes to our lab assistant, Ksenia Moser, for designing the cover! More information can be found in the Full Paper by F. Kraus et al.
