Anion Recognition by Neutral Chalcogen Bonding Receptors: Experimental and Theoretical Investigation

Invited for the cover of this issue are the groups of Antonio Frontera at the Universitat de les Illes Balears and Antonio Caballero at the Universidad de Murcia. The image depicts one of the tellurophene based receptors described in this work.
