Front Cover: Stable Ambiphilic Bis(N‐Heterocyclic Imino)‐Substituted Terminal Olefin and Its Diazoolefin Derivative Exhibits Unusual Dimerization
Abstract
The Front Cover depicts the isolation of an ambiphilic bisimino terminal olefin enabled by strategic ligand design using an N-heterocyclic olefin and an N-heterocyclic carbene. This approach leads to an unusual dimerization product—a quinoidal tetrazine. The artwork emphasizes the target molecule's unique dual reactivity, combining carbene-like and olefin-like character.
