Cover JOC on Successive Diels-Alder Cycloadditions of Cyclopentadiene to [10]CPP-C60: A Computational Study

The Journal of Organic Chemistry features on its front cover the recently published research article “Successive Diels-Alder Cycloadditions of Cyclopentadiene to [10]CPPáC60: A Computational Study”.

The cover art describes computationally the functionalization of the [10]CPPáC60 by cyclopentadiene through successive Diels-Alder cycloadditions reaching the hexakis adduct system. The graphics depict the successive cycloadditions over the [10]CPPáC60 as a representation of an invasion of cyclopentadienes. The design and original idea of the artwork are acknowledged to Miss Coral Garcia-Fernandez and Dr. Gerard Pareras.
