In this issue's cover article, an Emerging Area, Gareth Rowlands (Massey University, New Zealand) discusses the development of general routes to enantiomerically pure [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives.
![A number of methodologies allow for the enantioselective functionalisation of [2.2]paracyclophane to give valuable planar chiral molecules.](/images/large-image-for-web_tcm18-118392.jpg)
In the second Emerging Area, Douglas Stephan (University of Toronto, Canada) describes the concept of frustrated Lewis pairs, where sterically hindered Lewis donors and acceptors are combined.
