The cover picture shows the photochemical reaction of a diazirine encapsulated in the inherently chiral cavity of a cyclodextrin. The generated carbene affords intramolecular insertion products. For the first time for carbene reactions, products are imprinted, though modestly, with handedness derived from the cyclodextrins. Details are discussed in the article by U. H. Brinker et al. on page 5907 ff. The authors thank Mr. Michael Abraham for the photograph in the cover picture. The background shows the Vorderer Gosausee, Salzkammergut, Upper Austria. Large parts of the region were listed as a World Heritage Site in 1997.
