Abstract

Abstract : A redox‐switchable Ru II catalyst featuring a dendritic ferrocenylphosphane ligand was developed. In their Communication on page 311 ff., E. Hey‐Hawkins et al. show that electronic communication between the redox‐active unit and the catalytic center allows the catalyst to be reversibly switched off and on through chemical oxidation and reduction. Such redox control could facilitate the development of catalysts with orthogonal activity for different substrates.
