Cover Feature in Symmetry

A review paper by Ana Faísca Philips and Armando Pombeiro was selected for the Cover Feature in Symmetry.

Cover Story: Some boron compounds are atropisomers, which may have different properties according to their rotation. Axial chirality has been found in certain borazines, azaborines, NHC-boranes, aminoarylboranes, and even nonbiaryl compounds doped with boron. Since many boron compounds have interesting pharmaceutical, optical, and electronic properties, the methods to isolate their rotamers, or even to produce them pure by asymmetric synthesis, have become an important research target.
