Cover Picture: Two Different Pathways in the Reduction of [(S=)PCl(μ‐NtBu)]2 with Na (Chem. Eur. J. 34/2016)

Abstract

A sulfur‐bridged inorganic macrocycle and a room temperature singlet biradicaloid dianion have been isolated in the Wurtz reduction of a mixture of cis‐ and trans‐dichlorophosph(V)azane. It appears that these products from the same reaction are the outcome of two different reduction pathways. This approach may facilitate the discovery of new types of inorganic macrocycles and new polymeric assemblies similar to those observed in this work
