Abstract The cover picture shows a variety of nonplanar aromatics, including corannulene, fullerenes, helicenes and nonplanar porphyrins against a background of the midnight sun near Tromsø, Norway. The molecule at the center is a new member of this intriguing family of compounds – an exceedingly strongly saddled, chiral copper corrole. These have been synthesized by Prof. A. Ghosh and co‐workers at the University of Tromsø; details are discussed in the Short Communication on p. 1865 ff.
