A supramolecular conglomerate composed of a saddle‐distorted, diprotonated porphyrin dication and two saddle‐distorted zinc(II)–phthalocyanine complexes (see picture) is described by T. Kojima et al. in their Communication on page 6712 ff. The conglomerate undergoes photoinduced electron transfer from the zinc(II)‐phthalocyanine to the porphyrin dication to generate an electron‐transfer state with a lifetime of 667 ps.
