✦ Synopsis

True artistry is not limited to the fine arts. Penta(ferrocenyl)cyclopentadienyl complexes like that shown display intriguing structures and reactivity. In their Communication on page 1794 ff., K. P. C. Vollhardt et al. describe penta(ferrocenyl)cyclopentadienyl compounds that have ramifications for materials science, catalysis, and fundamental chemistry. (Background for the cover illustration is the painting “Untitled” by the French artist Marie Sat; graphics prepared by P. W. Leonard.)
