Molecular mitosis : Figure‐eight octaphyrins form binuclear metal complexes that can split into two covalently spiro‐linked corrolates. In a unique case binuclear Cu II [36]octaphyrin divides thermally into two Cu II [18]porphyrins presumably with participation of a transient spirocyclobutane species (see schematic representation).
