Description
Summary:Invited for the cover of this issue are the groups of F. Sannicolò, P. R. Mussini and R. Martinazzo (University of Milan, Italy), T. Benincori (University of Insubria, Italy), and W. Kutner (Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland). The image depicts the spider (S)‐T83 in a highly selective chiral web, in which enantiomorphic insects (l‐ and d‐DOPA, R‐ and S‐FcA) are differently entrapped. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/chem.201504899. “The octathiophene monomer T83 designed and synthesized in the present research was ideally suited for the purpose of an artificial DNA sequencing” Read more about the story behind the cover in the Cover Profile and about the research itself on page 10839 ff.
