The cover picture shows a cucurbituril embracing the planet earth, reflecting the key property of these macrocyclic hosts to form tight inclusion complexes with smaller guest molecules, the rapid growth of cucurbituril research worldwide, and the diverse range of potential applications of cucurbiturils.

The cover was contributed by the guest editors (see The World of Cucurbiturils From Peculiarity to Commodity, Nau and Scherman, p. 492 in this issue).
