Motivation:
One reviewer reviewed the work very highly (ranked it very high). Second reviewer wanted us to change our entire course of experimentation in a direction we had already shown within the work as unnecessary, and offered some meaningless other suggestions. This reviewer also asked for some results that were in the manuscript. Third reviewer said this is like other work in the literature, apparently without care or regard of what has been achieved. Two of the three reviews were absolutely third rate. But this seemed adequate for the "Editor" to reject. A detailed rebuttal was sent to the "Editor" but it was not considered seriously. Bad experience with this journal (just like with Angewandte Chemie International Edition).

Motivation:
This manuscript was sent to Chem Eur J after some poor reviewing by Angew Chem Int Ed. Fortunately, based on the quality of the work, the Editor at Angew Chem contacted the EiC of Chem Eur J. The manuscript was accepted very quickly at the latter venue. I am grateful for the approach taken by the Editors of the two journals as it saves a lot of onerous work for the authors and possibly reviewers (and there is nothing more inexcusable than a desk rejection that many journals practice).
