The cover picture shows a paramagnetic bis-fullerene derivative capable of bridging two adjacent graphene sheets for performing magnetic single-molecule
junctions. A family of magnetic molecular wires consisting of two highly π-conjugated linker moieties coordinated to Fe
II and Co
II spin-crossover complexes and
endowed with fullerene end-groups have been synthetized. This novel synthetic pathway provides access to a completely new family of magnetic complexes suitable for the development of single-molecule
junctions using graphene nanoelectrodes. Details are discussed in the Full Paper by A. Hirsch et al. on page 781 ff (DOI:
10.1002/ejoc.201601356).
