The cover picture shows a novel chiral palladacycle, which was readily prepared from p ‐xylene and then resolved through the separation of its ( S )‐prolinate diastereomeric derivatives. The catalytic ability of the newly synthesized palladacycle was demonstrated in the preparation of a new diester‐substituted diphosphane ligand by an asymmetric hydrophosphanation reaction, which proceeded with excellent selectivity. Details are discussed in the article by P.‐H. Leung et al. on p. 4427 ff. The key molecule is depicted as superimposed over the image of the Chinese Heritage Centre building at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and is meant to represent the contributions of Asian authors/readers to the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry .
