Cover Story: In the paper by Orian et al. on page 679, the catalytic activity of anti- and syn-Rh/Cr indenyl complexes in alkyne [2+2+2] cycloadditions is investigated by means of quantum chemistry calculations, and the catalysts are built like a jigsaw puzzle. In fact, the mechanistic features of the parent monometallic rhodium indenyl and rhodium cyclopentadienyl catalysts are considered, and using the energy span and the slippage span models, general structure–activity information is outlined, which can be used in the rational design of half-sandwich catalysts for the synthesis of aromatic cyclic and polycyclic compounds.
