The inside front cover this month (pictured right) features work by Davit Zargarian and co-workers from Quebec, Canada. In their work they reveal a new one-pot method for the efficient and atom-economical synthesis of POCOP-type pincer complexes of divalent nickel that serve as pre-catalysts for various catalytic transformations.
