Gatriarylcorroles with push-pull substitutions: synthesis, electronic structure and biomedical applications.

Two AB type Hcorroles and two Gatriarylcorroles with carbazole substitutions at 10-positions were synthesized and characterized. An analysis of structure-property relationships of the corroles has been carried out by investigating the optical spectroscopy of the dyes to trends predicted in DFT and TD-DFT calculations. Interestingly, the photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) activity properties of the Gatriarylcorroles were determined against the MCF-7 breast cancer line, and () and (), respectively.
