Abstract
The Front Cover illustrates a claw machine extracting a three-dimensional object, shaped to match its claw, from water. This visual symbolizes a Li2([18]crown-6)3[Ni(dmit)2]2(H2O)4 crystal, whose channel structure, formed by aligned [18]crown-6 molecules (orange rings), enables selective ion exchange. The crystal selectively incorporates MeNH3+ from a mixture of organic cations (MeNH3+, EtNH3+, nPrNH3+) in aqueous solution, maintaining its crystalline integrity. More information can be found in the Research Article by S. Nishihara and co-workers.
