Herein we detail a practical synthesis of bullvalene and a variety of mono‐ and disubstituted analogues through cobalt‐catalysed [6+2] cycloaddition of cyclooctatetraene to alkynes, followed by photochemical di‐π‐methane rearrangement. The application of isomer‐network analysis, coupled with quantum‐chemical calculations, provides a powerful automated tool for predicting the properties of bullvalene
