Abstract:
The Cover Feature shows artist Ella Marushenko′s view of the docking between an iodinated bicyclo(1.1.1)pentane (BCP) derivative and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). It illustrates noncovalent interactions of the BCP scaffold and how they can be used for the precise assembly of molecular components in chemical space. More information on BCP interactions – studied by crystallographic and theoretical methods
