The Front Cover shows structures of the selected crown ethers and cryptand complexes with alkali metals that were found to be superalkalis with record low ionization potentials (IPs). The [K(2.2.2crypt)] complex, the largest structure studied, possesses the lowest IP (1.50 eV) of the entire range of structures considered. More information can be found in the Article by N. V. Tkachenko et al. on page 2060 in Issue 16, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.201900422).
