Binuclear Cage-Like Copper(II) Silsesquioxane ("Cooling Tower") - Its High Catalytic Activity in the Oxidation of Benzene and Alcohols

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Alexey Bilyachenko at the Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds. The cover image illustrates a symbolic process of benzene/alcohol oxidation catalysis by the binuclear cage‐like copper(II) silsesquioxane with an unprecedented structure (“Cooling Tower”). It is quite symbolic that this newest kind of metallasilsesquioxane cages (“Cooling Tower”) reached a new horizon with the catalytic application of those compounds...
