Current affairs : Incorporation of a 1,4‐phenylene bridge into meso aryl‐substituted decaphyrin and octaphyrin has a profound impact on the structural and electronic properties of the macrocycles. Bridged decaphyrin has two oxidation states, one of which shows a rather strong diatropic ring current. X‐ray crystal structure analyses reveal bridged octaphyrin possesses a p ‐quinodimethane unit, while bridged decaphyrin has a phenylene unit (see picture).
