Invited for this month’s cover is the group of Prof. Dennis P. Arnold from Queensland University of Technology, Australia. The cover picture shows the optimised geometry, the electron density difference map for the HOMO‐LUMO transition, and the simulated and experimental electronic absorption spectra of a nickel(II) 5,10‐diiminoporphodimethene, a new type of porphyrinoid in which the macrocycle is electronically partitioned into tri‐ and monopyrrolic units.
