The cover picture shows the molecular structure of a synthetic doubly‐linked cyclic chlorophyll “hetero”‐dyad (left) and its symbolic image using natural leaves (right). Two chlorophyllous κ‐systems are stereospecifically and covalently bonded with two different linkers and close to each other in a nearly parallel fashion. The present synthetic strategy has great potential for the systematic preparation of various cyclic chlorophyll hetero‐dyads. Details of the synthesis and characterization are described in the article by N. Kosaka and H. Tamiaki on p. 2325 ff.
