Abstract Invited for this issue's Front Cover is the groups of Grey and Wright. The cover picture shows the chemical structure of sodium tetrakis(hexafluoroisopropyloxy)aluminate, with the sodium ion in the beach ball and the aluminate anion floating in a pool. The cover art uses a pool theme as the sodium aluminate salt synthesised in this work is a room‐temperature ionic liquid, thus the sodium salt in the pool represents this. The application of the salt in a sodium‐ion battery is shown in the cover design with the diving board acting as a battery, which can be seen by the positive and negative signs. Cover design by Demelza Lee. Read the full text of the Research Article at 10.1002/celc.202300381.
