β¦ Synopsis
A century of aryne chemistry has not dampened the interest in this class of reactive intermediates. The cover picture shows the structure of a calicheamicinβDNA complex, the βwarheadβ of which is a cyclic enediyne unit (highlighted). The biological activity of the enediyne cytostatics is based on the depicted Bergman cyclization of the enediyne to a didehydrobenzene biradical. More about these shortβlived species is given by Sander et al. on pp. 502βff.

SingleβMolecule Magnets have received a lot of attention over the last decade. The cover picture shows the stepped magnetic hysteresis loop, which is the fingerprint of the resonant quantum tunneling of the magnetization. This phenomenon is observed at low temperature in molecules characterized by l
