The Cover Feature shows free‐base and magnesium phthalocyanines with eight alkoxy groups at α‐positions and 2‐ or 4‐pyridylthio groups at the β‐positions. After methylation of the pyridine nitrogen, the phthalocyanines were moderately soluble in water. The UV/Vis and emission spectra of methylated phthalocyanines were obtained in methanol and water. Photobleaching of diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) was examined in methanol in the presence of these phthalocyanines. The free‐base phthalocyanine generated singlet oxygen more effectively than the magnesium complex. The red mountain represents the dawn. More information can be found in the Full Paper by T.
