Four free-base corroles with electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups on the para or 2 through 6-positons of the meso phenyl rings were prepared via either Paolesse or Gross conditions and investigated for their absorption and emission properties. The triaryl corroles 5,10,15-triphenylcorrole, 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole, 5,10,15-tris(p-nitrophenyl)corrole, and 5,10,15-tris(p-methoxyphenyl)corrole were examined. Absorption, steady-state, and time-resolved fluorescence measurements were performed on all compounds in both nonpolar (dichloromethane) and polar (dimethylacetamide) solvents. The experimental evidence points to hydrogen bonding with an internal N-H group as the most likely factor in the solvent-dependent photophysical behavior of these corroles, that is also highly dependent upon substitution.

The Excited-State N-H Tautomerization Rate in Free-Base Corroles.

Article Synopsis
- Corrole is a tetrapyrrolic dye similar to porphyrin, missing one carbon, affecting its structure and leading to dynamic tautomeric forms.
- The presence of three pyrrolic protons in its central cavity creates two tautomeric structures, although their ground-state energies are close, their excited states differ significantly, causing rapid tautomerization.
- This study applies ultrafast photoluminescence techniques to measure the rates and activation energies of excited-state tautomerization in corrole derivatives, enhancing understanding of its dynamics and potential for new material development.

Discovering new modifications for oligonucleotide therapeutics is essential for expanding its application to new targets and diseases. In this project, we focus on conjugating metaled ligands to short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to investigate robust and simple conjugation methods for adding new properties such as real-time imaging to the siRNA. Here we report the chemical synthesis of novel Ga-(III)-corroles for their direct conjugation to siRNAs.

Free-base corroles have long been known to be acidic, readily undergoing deprotonation by mild bases and in polar solvents. The conjugate base, however, has not been structurally characterized until now. Presented here is a first crystal structure of a free-base corrole anion, derived from tris(-cyanophenyl)corrole, as the tetrabuylammonium salt.
