Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue are the groups of Evgeny V. Alekseev at the Forchungszentrum Jülich and Thorstem M. Gesing at the University of Bremen. The image depicts the complex thorium tungstate polyanions, having a six-leafed lily cross-section, containing a rare confacial [W2 O9 ](6-) bioctahedral core.
