Abstract

Abstract: The front cover artwork is provided by the group of Prof. Ralf Ludwig at the University of Rostock in collaboration with Prof. Frank Weinhold at the University of Wisconsin Madison. The image shows the cyclic tetramer of hydrogen bonded cations in ionic liquids. The like‐charge attraction is supported by strong cooperativity and weakly coordinating anions.

In this study, we report the attractive interaction between ions of like charge.…" This and more about the story behind the front cover research can be found at10.1002/cphc.201600096 .
