Halogen Transfer to Carbon Radicals by High-Valent Iron Chloride and Iron Fluoride Corroles.

High-valent iron halide corroles were examined to determine their reactivity with carbon radicals and their ability to undergo radical rebound-like processes. Beginning with Fe(Cl)(ttppc) () (ttppc = 5,10,15-tris(2,4,6-triphenylphenyl)corrolato), the new iron corroles Fe(OTf)(ttppc) (), Fe(OTf)(ttppc)(AgOTf) (), and Fe(F)(ttppc) () were synthesized. Complexes and are the first iron triflate and iron fluoride corroles to be structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
