Cover: Τhe background of the cover shows the Romanesque Basilica of San Luca, which looks after the City of Bologna and its University. The form resembles the activation energy between two atropisomers. The dynamic properties of the boron–carbon stereogenic axis have been investigated  in detail by different techniques such as dynamic NMR, dynamic HPLC, and racemization kinetics of atropisomers, yielding steric rotational barriers much lower than that of the "standard" carbon–carbon stereogenic axes. Absolute configuration was assigned with ECD to stable atropisomers.
