چکیده
The cover picture compares the rearrangement of a small molecule to the process of turning a stuffed animal inside out. The recycled, inside-out stuffed animals are both artistic and philosophically provocative. They capture the essence of the rearrangement reaction because the compounds themselves turn inside out throughout the reaction, extending the diversity of products that can arise from simple starting materials. The epoxidation of some highly functionalized spiroketal compounds promoted rearrangements of their structures that turned them inside out. Some of the features of the products led the team to use X-ray crystallography and computerassisted structure elucidation, computation, and a new version of the 1,1-ADEQUATE NMR experiment to determine their structures. More information can be found in the Communication by Mark W. Peczuh et al. (DOI: 10.1002/open.201500122).

The cover pictureshows hydrogen bonds in the adenine–thymine (AT) Watson– Crick base pair.Ane ssential part of these H-bonds is their covalent component that arises from donor–acceptor interactions between the No rOlone pairs and the N–H antibonding s*a cceptor orbital. This charge-transfer interaction is represented by the green figures walking over the pedestrian crossing, connecting the two ...

The cover picture shows the differences in brain metabolism of a healthy young and a healthy old subject, as well as a patient suffering from Parkinson’s disease (left to right) uncovered by 6-[F]FDOPA-positron emission tomography (PET). Morbus Parkinson occurs when nerve cells that produce dopamine begin to die. The shortage of dopamine leads to movement problems in affected individuals. 6-[F]...

The cover picture shows the formation of one-dimensional nanochains of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) upon addition of a polyamine molecular linker. In the present work, the binding ability of this linker was exploited, bearing different functional groups, which favors the self-assembly of silver and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into one-dimensional nanochains in aqueous solution. These nanochains ...
