Through “electronic separation” of the seven‐membered ring the formally cross‐conjugated, azulene‐containing macrocycle (limiting structure A ) becomes a porphyrinlike species with a weak, diamagnetic ring current (limiting structure B ). This aromatic character is further accentuated upon twofold protonation.
