This paper reports a convenient, one‐pot, easily scalable and readily modifiable synthesis of a novel large‐ring bis(1,10‐phenanthrolinyl‐2,5‐pyrrole) macrocycle, H 2 L MC and describes its spectroscopic and electrochemical properties, protonation, cooperative amine binding, electrocatalysis of the oxidation of primary amines , photosensitization of the decomposition of dichloromethane, and the first lanthanide complexes of the hexaaza‐dianion L MC 2− including the novel dimer, [(NO 3 )( L MC )Eu(μ‐OH)Eu( L MC )(H 2 O) 2 ]⋅2py.
