Much like catching a star in the night sky, selective recognition of sulfate anions in an aqueous solution remains a challenge in chemistry. Herein, the design and synthesis of a bright fluorescent sensor for sulfate is reported. Non‐covalent interactions that contribute to the formation of receptor–sulfate complex were also studied to understand the sensing mechanism. Inspired by a character from the animated film “Hedgehog in the Fog”, the cover was designed by Alexander Oshchepkov and the authors. More information can be found in the Communication by E. A. Kataev et al. on page 1500.
