The Front Cover shows the SWEET SENSING strategy that enables carbohydrate‐appended TQNPEN [ N , N , N ', N '‐tetrakis(2‐quinolylmethyl)‐3‐aza‐1,5‐pentanediamine] derivatives to detect intracellular Cd 2+ by means of fluorescence signals in HeLa cells. The attachment of carbohydrates, especially glucose, to TQNPEN significantly improves cell membrane permeability and intracellular distribution of the compound.
