Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue are the groups of Kazuteru Usui and Satoru Karasawa at Showa Pharmaceutical University and Yasuhiro Kobori of Kobe University. The image depicts chirality control of helical compounds through cycles of photocleavage and recombination under sunlight with a "Jack and the Beanstalk" motif.
