The fluorescence intensity of phosphorus corroles increases upon meso-aryl C-F/C-H and P-OH/P-F substitutions, the latter affects corrole-centered redox processes more than C-H/C-F substitution on the corrole's skeleton, and the presence of F atoms allows for the first experimental insight into the electronic structures of oxidized corroles. Experimental and theoretical methodologies reveal that mono- but not bis-chlorosulfonation of the corrole skeleton is under kinetic control. Selective introduction of heavy atoms leads to complexes that are phosphorescent at room temperature.

As a distinctive class of porphyrin derivatives, corroles offer exceptional potential in phototherapy applications owing to their unique electronic structures. However, developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that incorporate photosensitive corroles as functional ligands for synergistic phototherapy remains a formidable challenge. Herein, for the first time, the unique phosphorus corrole-based MOFs Cor(P)-Hf with (3,18)-connected gea topology are reported, which are constructed by Cs-symmetric dicarboxylate 3-connected linkers, 10-pentafluorophenyl-5,15-di(p-benzoate)phosphorus corrole (Cor(P)), and the peculiar D-symmetric 18-connected Hf-oxo clusters.

Intersystem crossing (ISC) of visible-light absorbing metal-free corrole macrocycles can be greatly tuned by means of suitable chemical functionalization. Axially chalcogenated phosphorus corrole derivatives (XPCs; X = O, S, Se) are expected to show large spin-orbit coupling (SOC) the heavy-atom effect and therefore a much improved ISC. Excited-state deactivation of XPCs including PC is studied using time-dependent optimally tuned range-separated hybrid functionals combined with a polarizable continuum model with toluene as a dielectric medium to account for polar solvent effects.

Considering the potential advantages of minimally sized corroles for diverse applications, this study reports a facile access to cyano-substituted derivatives via a rare CF/CN conversion. Investigation of the fully characterized gallium, phosphorus, and cobalt complexes discloses multiple effects of the meso-nitrile groups attached to the macrocycle. This corrole appears to be the most electron poor derivative which comes into play in the redox potentials of the corresponding complexes.

Study on corrole photosensitizers (PSs) for photodynamic therapy (PDT) has made remarkable progress. Targeted delivery of PSs is of great significance for enhancing therapeutic efficiency, decreasing the dosage, and reducing systemic toxicity during PDT. The development of PSs that can be specifically delivered to the subcellular organelle is still an attractive and challenging work.

Does the Intersystem Crossing Rate of β-Iodinated Phosphorus Corrole Depend on Iodine Numbers and/or Positions?

The heavy-atom effect is known to enhance the intersystem crossing (ISC) in organic molecular systems. Effects of iodine numbers and positions on the ISC rate of a few meso-difluorophenyl substituted β-iodinated phosphorus corroles (PCs) with axially ligated fluorine atoms (I-FPC; = 1-4) are studied using a time-dependent optimally tuned range-separated hybrid. Solvent effects are accounted for through a polarizable continuum model with a toluene dielectric.
