52_25/2013Cover Picture: Photosensitization of DNA by 5-Methyl-2-Pyrimidone Deoxyribonucleoside: (6-4) Photoproduct as a Possible Trojan Horse (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 25/2013)

(6-4) DNA photoproducts as potential intrinsic DNA photosensitizers are discussed by V. Lhiaubet-Vallet, M. A. Miranda, et al. in their Communication on page 6476 ff. 5-Methyl-2-pyrimidone deoxyribonucleoside was shown to photosensitize the DNA damage, acting as a Trojan horse. This concept is illustrated using images of Valencia, taken from the Fallas Festival and the Science Museum.

Dichlorogermanium Oligomersfor001

In their Communication on page 6390 ff., E. Rivard et al. describe a mild stepwise route to various linear and branched (GeCl2)x oligogermylenes supported by Lewis bases. The authors thank P. Lummis and E. Oesterreich, RGD, for their assistance with the design.


Nanoparticle Surfacefor002

In their Communication on page 6459 ff., A. Fery, A. R. de Lera, L. F. Marsal, R. A. Alvarez-Puebla et al. describe a new micropatterning technique to create micropyramids out of gold nanoparticles. This surface serves as an excellent substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.


Nanoemulsionsfor003

The unique environment in the surroundings of hydrothermal vents in the deep ocean inspired S. Deguchi and N. Ifuku to develop a novel bottom-up emulsification process, described in their Communication on page 6409 ff.


52_25i/2013Inside Cover: Tetrameric Cyclic Double Helicates as a Scaffold for a Molecular Solomon Link (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 25/2013)

Doubly-entwined interlocked rings also known as Solomon's knots, are a common motif in Celtic art and stonework, such as the examples from St Magnus Cathedral, Orkney, shown in the picture. In their Communication on page 6464 ff., D. A. Leigh and co-workers report on the use of a tetrameric circular helicate to synthesize a molecular Solomon's knot. The one-pot synthesis assembles four iron(II) cations and four bis(aldehyde) and four bis(amine) building blocks to generate the two interwoven 68-membered-ring macrocycles in 75 % yield.

52_25c/2013Inside Back Cover: Macroscale Plasmonic Substrates for Highly Sensitive Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 25/2013)

Self-assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles into controlled and spatially organized macrofeatures could be applicable to diverse fields such as metamaterial properties, environmental monitoring, and biomedicine. In their Communication on page 6459 ff., A. Fery, A. R. de Lera, L. F. Marsal, R. A. Alvarez-Puebla, et al. create large-area patterns of micropyramids composed of gold nanoparticles as building blocks. These pyramids provide an ultraintense electric field at their surface upon illumination with light.

52_25b/2013Back Cover: Bottom-Up Formation of Dodecane-in-Water Nanoemulsions from Hydrothermal Homogeneous Solutions (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 25/2013)

In the deep oceans at tectonically active areas, hot and compressed water, sometimes in the supercritical state, gushes out from the sea floor. The water is rapidly cooled to near-freezing temperature by surrounding cold water. Such a unique environment in the deep ocean inspired S. Deguchi and N. Ifuku to develop a novel bottom-up emulsification process, described in their Communication on page 6409 ff. The photograph (© JAMSTEC) shows a hydrothermal activity at the depth of 1492 m near Ryukyu Islands, Japan.
