Invited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Dr. Shigeru Yamago at the Kyoto University (Japan). The image shows the host-guest possibilities of cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) of different sizes. Size selective interaction between [n]CPP and [n+5]CPP affords a host-guest complex, [n+5]CPP⊃[n]CPP, which is the shortest double-walled armchair carbon nanotube. The size-selective complex formation illustrates the importance of van der Waals interactions. A ternary complex, [15]CPP⊃[10]CPP⊃C , also forms from [15]CPP, [10]CPP, and C .

本月的封面文章由日本京都大学的山郷茂教授团队提供。图中展示了不同尺寸的环对亚苯基（CPP）作为主体时与客体分子的相互作用情况。[n]CPP与[n + 5]CPP之间的尺寸选择性相互作用形成了主客体复合物[n + 5]CPP⊃[n]CPP，这是最短的双壁扶手椅型碳纳米管。这种尺寸选择性复合物的形成说明了范德华相互作用的重要性。由[15]CPP、[10]CPP和C还能形成三元复合物[15]CPP⊃[10]CPP⊃C。可登录10.1002/cplu.201700097阅读本文全文。
