Abstract

The cover picture shows the assembly process of uranyl peroxide clusters through templating cations and anions. The yellow polyhedra are the monomeric building blocks, UO2(O2)34–. In this schematic, the assembly of pentagonal and hexagonal rings is templated by K+ (green spheres) and Cs/Rb+ (pink spheres) ions. The assembly of spherical capsules from rings is then templated by Ta(O2)43– anions (Ta = blue spheres, O = red spheres). Details are discussed in the article by M. Nyman et al. on p. 2197 ff. The cover art was produced by Mona Aragon (Sandia National Laboratories).
