A new supramolecular triad comprised of β‐functionalized conjugated free‐base porphyrin–zinc porphyrin and axially coordinated electron acceptor fullerene has been successfully synthesized. Under light illumination, simultaneous energy transfer to free‐base porphyrin and electron transfer to fullerene competitively occur. The cover picture highlights these findings and uses a tug of war to demonstrate the competitive events. More information can be found in the Full Paper by H. Wang, F. D'Souza et al. on page 12805.
