Supramolecular octopus couples form when a positively quadrupolar cyclic Ag I –triazolate trimer with fluorous octopus arms electrostatically attracts a negatively quadrupolar free porphyrin or a Pt II porphyrin with shorter alkyl octopus arms. In their Communication on page 4842 ff., C. Yang, M. A. Omary et al. show that in this system, the phosphorescence of the Pt II porphyrin is enhanced under ambient conditions as O 2 and self‐quenching processes are suppressed.
