The Front Cover shows an artistic representation of the outer surface of a nanoscale U 28 cage cluster. Three uranyl moieties connected by phosphonic bridges (μ 3 ‐HPO 3 ) can be seen in the image, which depicts μ 3 ‐HPO 3 conformations with and without an associated cation directly inside the cage. 1 H NMR spectroscopy provides a direct way to monitor this conformational change as cations like sodium are introduced into the solution. Yellow, red, green, white, and purple spheres represent uranium, oxygen, phosphorus, hydrogen, and sodium, respectively. (Artist: Dr. Anna F. Oliveri).
