The cover image compares the molecular spin states of two diastereomers of a spin-crossover iron(II) complex. Solution-phase magnetic measurements show the low-spin state of the heterochiral (meso) diastereomer is stabilized relative to its homochiral (rac) congener. This reflects a steric clash between phenyl substituents in the rac isomer, which occupies two diagonal quadrants in the molecule. The resultant twisting of the ligand conformation and metal-coordination sphere explains the observed reduction in the ligand field. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. A. Halcrow et al. on page 9067.
