Abstract
The two complementary worlds of π aromaticity meet in one molecule. Di‐p‐benzihexaphyrin, described by Latos‐Grażyński et al. in their Communication on page 7869 ff., contains two phenylene rings, which, when oriented face‐to‐face, define an antiaromatic macrocycle with an orientable (Hückel) π system. With a 90° twist of one phenylene ring, the molecule transforms into a remarkable edge‐to‐face conformer with a Möbius topology. The different colors of the two forms show the effect of topology switching on the π conjugation.
