Description
Summary:Invited for this month's cover is the group of Osamu Kanie and co‐workers at Tokai University. The cover picture shows the interaction of an incoming molecule and a receptor surface as the first process of a molecular sensing mechanism. For this, porous silica particles were decorated with protected carbohydrates to create artificial pocket‐like structures on its surface. More information can be found in the Research Article by O. Kanie and co‐workers. Small stable molecules with carbohydrate scaffolds are proposed as components of chemical receptors. Porous silica particles with carbohydrate derivatives showed the ability to act as sensor elements, as indicated by detecting specific interactions between the glucose derivative and 4‐nitrobenzene analogs by confocal laser Raman spectroscopy.
