Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue are the groups and colleagues of Anne-Marie Caminade at the CNRS and University of Toulouse, Evamarie Hey-Hawkins at Leipzig University, and Agustí Lledós from the Autonomous University of Barcelona. The image depicts birds crowned by a carborane competing for access to food, to illustrate the steric hindrance encountered when grafting carboranes to dendrimers (artwork by Dr. Christoph Selg).
