Gold phthalocyanine (Pc) has long been cited as a rare example of a paramagnetic gold(II) compound. In the process of targeting soluble gold(II) Pc analogues, an unprecedented ring‐contracted Pc analogue was discovered, and a gold(III) Pc was isolated, representing the first structurally characterized Pc‐containing gold. However, no gold(II)‐containing species could be identified with either substituted or simple Pc ligands. For more information, see the Full Paper by S. Shimizu, N. Kobayashi, D. Leznoff, and co‐workers on page 12404 ff.
