The cover picture shows the ultimate chiral object–a hand–holding a model of a complex containing a chelate bonding through nitrogen to symbolize the successful use of such complexes in asymmetric catalysis. Metal complexes with optically active ligands binding through N have gained in importance immensely in recent years. Togni and Venanzi compare the main classes of ligands and discuss catalytic aspects in their review on p. 497 ff. and thus help to bridge the gap which still exists between the theory of coordination chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. The picture was generated from a drawing by A. T. of his own hand and elaborated by U. Burckhardt at ETH with the program Adobe Illustrator 3.0.
