Inside Back Cover: Selective B(4)−H Activation of an o-Carboranylthioamide Based on a Palladium Precursor (Chem. Eur. J. 8/2017).

Palladium ‐ induced selective B(4)−H activation is achieved by the reaction of o ‐ carboranylthioamide and [PdCl2(CH3CN)2]. A tetranuclear palladium complex is formed in high yield. Mononuclear and trinuclear palladium complexes are obtained directly from the reaction of tetranuclear palladium complex with small molecules, such as tert ‐ butyl isocyanide and CO. These reactions are featured on the back cover. More information can be found in the Full Paper by G. ‐ X. Lin et al. on page 1814 ff. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
