Cover Feature: Rapid Access to Encapsulated Molecular Rotors via Coordination‐Driven Macrocycle Formation (Chem. Eur. J. 50/2023)

We've got you surrounded! Conjugated units that are encapsulated within the cavities of macrocycles can have unique properties often including the ability to rotate or wobble within an otherwise stationary crystal lattice. We introduce a strategy for forming macrocycles of this type in only a few synthetic steps using pyridine coordination to transition metals as the final, ring‐closing step. More information can be found in the Research Article by N. P. Bowling and co‐workers. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202301745).
