Corannulene S. Ito, K. Nozaki, and Y. Tokimaru describe in their Communication on page 7256 ff. the synthesis of a nitrogen‐doped corannulene derivative that exhibits unique structural and physical properties and extended π conjugation compared to the parent corannulene.

Strictly periodic assemblies …︁ …︁ of porphyrin units deposited on functionalized substrates can be used to realize solar cells with remarkable efficiency. In their Communication on page 7441 ff., J. Liu, C. Wöll, and co‐workers show by electronic‐structure calculations that ordered arrays of porphyrins have a small dispersion of occupied and unoccupied bands leading to the formation of a small indirect band gap. Such ordered porphyrin metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are then grown using a layer‐by‐layer liquid‐phase epitaxy.

Two nanojunctions with different pore sizes are the key parts of size and mobility traps described by M. C. Breadmore and co‐workers in their Communication on page 7359 ff. The traps were developed to extract, concentrate, and purify pharmaceuticals from body fluids prior to their separation by microchip electrophoresis. Therapeutic levels of the antibiotic ampicillin could be detected in blood samples within five minutes.

Overall water splitting with a semiconductor photocatalyst under visible‐light irradiation is considered as a “dream reaction” in chemistry. The development of a 600 nm photocatalyst for solar water splitting highlighted here is not only an important milestone towards sustainable hydrogen production, but also a new starting point for artificial photosynthesis. STH=solar‐to‐hydrogen energy conversion efficiency.
