The front cover highlights work from Gale, Light, Ogden et al. examining the coordination of 2,5-dicarbothioamidopyrroles. De Cola et al. feature on the inside front cover with their description of a new class of water soluble metallosurfactant molecules based on luminescent neutral iridium(III) complexes. Both cover articles will be free for 6 weeks so do take a look.
