The contraction of benzene is one of an exclusive group of reactions where the cleavage of aromatic structure is of fundamental importance. Rhodium(III) m ‐benziporphyrin undergoes an unprecedented transformation of the built‐in m ‐phenylene in which a perimeter carbon atom is extruded to form rhodium(III) 21‐carbaporphyrin, stabilizing the formyl‐unit‐substituted rhodacyclopropane motif.
