Growing bigger : A versatile approach toward the construction of nanosize π‐conjugated macrocycles by Vernier templation has been demonstrated. The use of linear tetranuclear Zn II porprhyrin complexes and a suitable and readily available six‐site template leads to formation and isolation of a giant, monodisperse macrocycle in a limited amount of synthetic steps, marking Vernier complex formation a powerful and new tool for the creation of superstructures (see picture).
