The power of three ferrocenes : all three coinage metal ions are held atop the triazine core of a novel C 3 ‐symmetric tris‐phosphane. Despite nearly identical solid‐state structures featuring unusual interactions between s ‐triazine and the metal ions, solution‐state behaviour of the complexes differs. Variable‐temperature NMR spectroscopy and spectroelectrochemistry aided the understanding of these intriguing compounds, in particular regarding their rich electrochemistry, and inspired Christoph Selg to create this cover picture.
