Polymer nanocapsules with a highly stable structure and relatively narrow size distribution were obtained without the use of any preorganized structure or template. In their Communication on page 3471 ff., K. Kim and co‐workers report that photopolymerization of dithiols and allyloxycucurbit[6]uril spontaneously produces polymer nanocapsules as illustrated in the cover picture. The method appears to be applicable to any monomer with a flat core and multiple polymerizable groups at the periphery.
