The cover image illustrates the “universal” post‐modification of silica particles coated with a polythiolactone polymer shell, which can be used for molecular functionalization, incorporation of nanoparticle catalysts, and formation of nanocapsules for triggered payload release. The sun symbolizes the precursor particles and the planets are some of the potential functional derivatives. The design was conceived by Dustin Kurka and composed by Nina Knubel at the University of Münster. More information can be found in the Full Paper by B. J. Ravoo et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202100547).
