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.
