Abstract

Abstract: The front cover artwork is provided by the Laboratory of Nitrogen‐Containing Compounds at the Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ZIOC RAS; Russia). The image shows a metronome which symbolizes the ability of arylazofuroxans to switch between two isomers with significantly different NO donor ability. The switching process can be easily tuned by visible light or elevated temperature. Read the full text of the Article at 10.1002/cptc.2020000157 . Abstract : "The ability of arylazo‐1, 2, 5‐oxadiazole 2‐oxides (also known as furoxans) to undergo photoswitching under visible light irradiation was revealed. This feature was used as a powerful tool to control their NO donor properties over a wide range of concentrations…" This and more about the story behind the front cover can be found in the Article at 10.1002/cptc.202000157 .
