The cover picture shows the X‐ray crystal structures of ruthenium and rhodium complexes of chiral 1,1′‐bis(phosphetano)ferrocenes. These diphosphanes rank among the ligands inducing excellent enantioselectivities in rhodium‐promoted hydrogenations of prochiral olefins. X‐ray crystal structures of their metal complexes afford information about their coordinating behaviour and preferred conformations in catalytically active species. Details are discussed in the article by A. Marinetti et al. on p. 2583 ff.
