Frontispiece: Triply Linked Porphyrinoids.

Tanaka, Takayuki; Osuka, Atsuhiro

The triply linked porphyrin array (porphyrin tape) and recent additions to the triply linked porphyrinoid family including corrole tape, porphyrin‐hexaphyrin hybrid tape, subporphyrin tape, and porphyrin arch‐tape are highlighted in the graphic. These tape‐like molecules can be regarded as polycyclic aromatic molecules, but their optical and electrochemical properties are particularly fascinating, encouraging the study their structure–property relationships. Not only planar molecules, but also distorted structures have been made owing to the development of new synthetic methods. For a full discussion see the Minireview article by T. Tanaka and A. Osuka on page 17188 ff.
