The Front Cover shows the fireworks of lanthanide luminescence and lanthanide photophysics. In the paper it is shown that intramolecular excited state energy transfer happens with a rate constant similar to that of the intermolecular process. Exploiting tools from fundamental molecular photophysics, new light was shed on the processes that lead to sensitized lanthanide luminescence. As the cover shows, the energy transfer occurs as efficiently as that between molecules. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. K. R. Junker and T. J. Sørensen .
