The impact of solvents on the singlet and triplet states of selected fluorine corroles - absorption, fluorescence, and optoacoustic studies.

This paper examines the influence of aprotic solvents on the spectroscopic properties as well as the energy deactivation of two free-base corrole dyes substituted with C6F5 and/or 4-NO2C6H4 groups. Absorption, fluorescence and laser-induced optoacoustic spectroscopy have been used to follow the singlet and triplet states of fluorine corroles belonging to the A2B and A3 type in toluene (TL), chloroform (CL), dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and also in solvent mixtures. Changes in the absorption and fluorescence spectra are influenced by the type of solvent mixture.

New meso-substituted corroles possessing pentafluorophenyl groups--synthesis and spectroscopic characterization.

The investigation presented in this paper deals with new free-base corroles substituted with different peripheral groups. These aromatic macrocycles were efficiently synthesized by a [2+1] approach from dipyrromethanes. Moreover, the basic spectroscopic studies of the dyes in chloroform were conducted, and the UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence and ESR parameters were estimated.
