The Front Cover shows the Ishihara test plate of a dimeric zinc tripyrrin complex. This compound is a side product of the Adler‐Longo porphyrin synthesis, which has been overlooked for more than half a century. It has now been found to act as the key intermediate in the formation of branched oligopyrroles like porphodimethenes. The detection and isolation of the metalated tripyrrin and the unraveling of its special reactivity were only possible after attempting the use of zinc acetate as template reagent during the oxidation step. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Bröring and co‐workers.
