The cover image depicts the hazard caused by chlorofluorocarbons such as CFC‐11, which are used, for example, as blowing agents for polyurethane foams, and the protective effect of the oligosaccharide, hexakis‐(2,3,6‐tri‐ O ‐methyl)‐ α ‐cyclodextrin, which is capable of binding CFC‐11 by supramolecular complexation and thus protecting the stratospheric ozone layer from the harmful trichlorofluoromethane. Further details can be found in article number 1800057 by Ralf Hellmann, Siegfried R. Waldvogel, and co‐workers.
