The cover picture shows the assembly process of uranyl peroxide clusters through templating cations and anions. The yellow polyhedra are the monomeric building blocks, UO 2 (O 2 ) 3 4– . In this schematic, the assembly of pentagonal and hexagonal rings is templated by K + (green spheres) and Cs/Rb + (pink spheres) ions. The assembly of spherical capsules from rings is then templated by Ta(O 2 ) 4 3– anions (Ta = blue spheres, O = red spheres). Details are discussed in the article by M. Nyman et al. on p. 2197 ff. The cover art was produced by Mona Aragon (Sandia National Laboratories).
