Synthesis, Structure, and Complexation of an S‐Shaped Double Azahelicene with Inner‐Edge Nitrogen Atoms

Invited for the cover of this issue is Ken Kamikawa and co‐workers at Osaka Prefecture University and RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science. The image depicts an S‐shaped double azahelicene capturing the palladium in a trans‐chelating fashion.
