The Cover Feature shows a luminescent Tb 3+ complex that emits green circularly polarized luminescence when it is irradiated with a UV−A light source. In the picture, this peculiar emission feature is represented by the green lines propagating from the complex and following a helical path. The required chirality and light absorption are facilitated by the chiral PyBox ligands that complex the metal ion. More information can be found in the Article by Lorenzo Di Bari and co‐workers.
