Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The introduction of a seven‐membered‐ring unit in the place of a five‐membered‐ring unit in the structure of subphthalocyanine resulted in significant distortion of the bowl‐shaped structure of the conjugated molecule as well as the following unprecedented properties: the preferential formation of the axially fluoro substituted species, the fluttering‐dynamic‐motion‐induced rapid exchange of <italic>P</italic> and <italic>M</italic> enantiomers, markedly split Q‐band absorption, and a clear difference in the ring‐current effects arising from the convex and concave surfaces.</p> </abstract>
