The cover picture shows the concept of carbocyclic annulation ( trans ‐ring fusion) to lock hexoses, such as β‐glucose, in their unnatural axial‐rich conformation, while retaining their natural configuration. The bipolarofacial nature of these novel cyclohexane ring annulated sugar entities is reflected in their channel‐like supramolecular assembly in the solid state, consisting of a hydrophilic interior and a hydrophobic exterior. Details are discussed in the article by G. Mehta and S. S. Ramesh on p. 2225 ff.
