Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue are Soichi Yokoyama and Yutaka Ie at Osaka University, Japan. The image depicts the strong electron affinity of the fluorinated dihydropentalene-1,4-dione (FPD) structure, in which the electron-rich amino groups in the diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) skeleton are replaced with a strongly electronegative difluoromethylene unit.
