The cover picture shows the electrostatic interaction between a cationic antiproliferative platinum compound cis ‐[PtCl(NH 3 ) 2 (py)] + and novel poly(methyl methacrylate) core–shell nanoparticles bearing anionic (–SO 3 – ) arms. This interaction was studied by electrochemical techniques to determine whether such particles might serve as drug carriers for Pt drugs. Details on these Pt–nanosphere conjugates can be found in the article by D. Osella et al. on p. 3289 ff.
