A new member of the cyclo[ n ]pyrrole class of expanded porphyrins could be prepared from the corresponding thiophene‐containing terpyrrole precursor through use of a mild electrochemical oxidative procedure. The isolated macrocycle, featuring nine heterocyclic subunits directly connected through their α,α′‐positions, is the largest cyclo[ n ]pyrrole derivative reported to date (see figure).
