Abstract:
Invited for this month's cover are the collaborating groups of Prof. Man-Kin Wong and Dr. Franco King-Chi Leung from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The cover picture illustrates chiral gold (III) amphiphiles assemble into tubular supramolecular structures in aqueous media through counterion controlled pathway. The nanostructures were further demonstrated with good cytocompatibility in aqueous media. More information can be found in the Research Article by Man-Kin Wong, Franco King-Chi Leung, and co-workers.
