Front Cover: Synthesis of a New Cobalt(II) Complex Compound Containing 2,2′-Bipyridyl Ligand and Its Catalytic Properties in the Formation of CO2-Sorbing Oligomers (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 11/2025)

Abstract

The Front Cover shows the synthesis of a new cobalt(II) coordination compound containing two 2,2′-bipyridyl ligands, a water molecule and, most interestingly, a sulfate(VI) anion in the coordination sphere. In addition, the newly presented compound [Co(bipy)₂(SO₄)(H₂O)] is perfectly suited as a catalyst in the oligomerization of olefins and leads to the synthesis of oligomers with unique physicochemical properties.
