The cover picture shows an example of an oxoporphyrinogen molecule substituted at macrocyclic nitrogen atoms with zinc–porphyrins (oxoporphyrinogen gets zinc–porphyrin “wings”). The electrochemical and photochemical behaviour of this unprecedented tetrapyrrolic triad has been investigated using physical and computational methods. Evidence for the energy transfer and charge separation between the zinc–porphyrin “wings” and the quinonoid oxoporphyrinogen scaffold is discussed in the article by J. P. Hill, O. Ito, F. D'Souza et al. on p. 595 ff.
