Regulable and predictable self‐assembly of organogelators is of significance in supramolecular science. The work featured on the inside cover systematically investigates the water‐regulated structural transformation and the predictability of gelation with a hydrazide‐derived gelator (BNB‐t4). The regulation effect was demonstrated in the structural transformation from sphere to lamella then back to sphere when water was introduced into n ‐propanol. The correlation between self‐assembly behavior and solubility parameters was established to successfully predict the gelation performance of BNB‐t4 in other solvents. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Xia Ran, Lijun Guo et al. on page 2157 in Issue 15, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/asia.201600533).
