On the Cover
Capturing the essence of supramolecular
materials: conformation, molecular architecture, and assembly.
The image depicts two examples of supramolecular events: the
giant graphite sheet is captured in mid-fold, while a stripped-down
phenylacetylene oligomer assumes a helical conformation. Several
artistic techniques were used to underscore the causal and resultant
properties of molecular self-association, such as the twirling
centers of the benzene rings to convey aromaticity, and the column
of haze coincident with the axis of the helix. The refractive
"gasoline-on-water" backdrop was created as a reminder
of the considerable molecular associations that occur at such
interfacial environments. Illustration created by Naveen Nathan,
Northwestern University. See the technical theme that begins
on page 26.
