The cover picture shows the oxidative ring contraction of tetraphenylazuliporphyrins to give benzocarbaporphyrins. Bulky substituents on the azulene moiety influence the regioselectivity but do not inhibit this unusual chemistry. Details are discussed in the article by J. A. El‐Beck and T. D. Lash on p. 3981 ff.
