Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue is mainly the group of Makoto Tadokoro and co-workers at Tokyo University of Science. Other co-workers are Masaki Itoh, Ryota Nishimura, Kensuke Sekiguchi (TUS students), Dr. Norihisa Hoshino (Tohoku Univ.), Dr. Hajime Kamebuchi (Nihon Univ.), Dr. Jun Miyazaki (Tokyo Denki Univ.), Prof. Motohiro Mizuno (Kanazawa Univ.) and Prof. Tomoyuki Akutagawa (Tohoku Univ.). The image depicts on two mechanisms of proton transport rotations of the proton-conductive starburst molecule [Ru^III (HIm)₃ (Im)₃ ]. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/chem.202201397.
