Frontispiece: Electronic Communication in Confined Space Coronas of Shell‐by‐Shell Structured Al 2 O 3 Nanoparticle Hybrids Containing Two Layers of Functional Organic Ligands

A first series of examples for confined space interactions of electron‐rich and electron‐poor molecules organized in an internal corona of shell‐by‐shell (SbS)‐structured Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle (NP) hybrids is reported. The assembly concept of the corresponding hierarchical architectures relies on both covalent grafting of phosphonic acids on the NPs surface and exohedral interdigitation of orthogonal amphiphiles as the second ligand layer driven by solvophobic interactions. The electronic communication between the chromophores of different electron demand, such as pyrenes, perylenediimides, and fullerenes, was promoted at the layer interface.
