✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The cover picture shows the postulated catalytic cycle for the pH‐dependent, enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone to give phenylethanol in water, using formate as hydrogen donor and (arene)ruthenium(trans‐diaminocyclohexane) as chiral catalyst. This work illustrates the increasing interest for water‐soluble enantioselective catalysts operating in aqueous solution. Details are discussed in the article by G. Süss‐Fink et al. on p. 4493 ff.

## Abstract The cationic chloro complexes [(arene)Ru(H~2~N∩NH~2~)Cl]^+^ (1: arene = C~6~H~6~; 2: arene = __p__‐MeC~6~H~4~__i__Pr; 3: arene = C~6~Me~6~) have been synthesised from the corresponding arene ruthenium dichloride dimers and enantiopure (__R__,__R__ or __S__,__S__) __trans__‐1,2‐diaminocy
