Cover Feature: Electronic Coupling in Cofacial Heterobimetallic AgCu‐Porphyrin Dimers: Bioinspired Analogs of Chlorophyll Special Pairs
Nature's photosynthetic special pair demonstrates how precise molecular organization channels light energy into directed electronic communication. The Cover Feature reimagines this principle through cofacial AgCu–porphyrin dimers, revealing how subtle, bridge-controlled structural changes reshape electronic coupling, redox localization, and spin states—connecting biological energy conversion with the rational design of functional multimetallic molecular systems. More details are provided in the Research Article by E. Garribba, S. P. Rath and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.71286).
