Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows the rings as the background since this study is on the ring contraction of macrocyclic porphyrinoid. The color change from porphycene to isocorrole is from blue to green and purple, indicated by the background colors. The background design and color also implies that the reaction proceeded in one‐pot and the three compounds are co‐existing in the reaction system. The structures of three compounds; porphycene, meso‐formyl isocorrole, and meso‐free isocorrole are shown as the 3D structures. We acknowledge Aria Hisaeda for drawing this Cover Feature.
