Survival of the Fittest Nanojar: Stepwise Breakdown of Polydisperse Cu27−Cu31 Nanojar Mixtures into Monodisperse Cu27(CO3) and Cu31(SO4) Nanojars

Invited for the cover of this issue is the team led by Gellert Mezei at Western Michigan University. The image depicts “ammonia” selectively breaking down nano jar mixtures into pure nanojar species, but one resists! Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/chem.201600271. “Given the structural complexity and novelty of nanojars, certainly nobody could have predicted the effect of ammonia on a nanojar mixture.” Read more about the story behind the cover in the Cover Profile and about the research itself on page 5499 ff.
