The first synthesis of anion capped cerium corrole complexes is reported. Unusual clustering of the lanthanide corrole units has been found and the degree of aggregation can be controlled by the choice of the capping ligand. A polymeric structure 1a, with the general formula [Cor-Ce(THF)-Cp-Na] (Cor = 5,15-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-10-(4 methoxyphenyl)-corrole, THF = tetrahydrofuran), is formed using sodium cyclopentadienide (NaCp) and a dimeric structure 2a, with the general formula [Cor-Ce-Tp], is formed when potassium tris(pyrazolyl)borate (KTp) is used. Encapsulation of the counter-cation leads to the isolation of the monomeric structures 1b and 2b, with the general formulas [AM(2.2.2-cryptand)][Cor-Cp-X] (AM = Na or K, X = Cp or Tp). The structural and spectroscopic properties of the complexes have been investigated.

We report herein the synthesis and full spectroscopic characterization of two AB-corrole phosphonic acids. Thanks to the presence of a phosphonic acid functional group at the 10--position, the corroles were covalently linked to the hexanuclear Zr clusters of a PCN-222 metal-organic framework (MOF). After the insertion of cobalt into the corrole macrocycle, the metal complexes are able to bind small volatile molecules such as carbon monoxide (CO).

The high-temperature (∼180 °C) reaction between free-base -triarylcorroles and Re(CO), followed by exposure to PCl and thiols (or elemental sulfur), affords rhenium-sulfido (ReS) corroles in 67-76% yields. The use of shorter reaction times, lower temperatures (∼130 °C), and a dithiol (e.g.

The focus is on developing alternative molecular catalysts using main-group elements and implementing strategic improvements for sustainable hydrogen production. For this purpose, a FB corrole with a (2-(2-((4-methylphenyl)sulfonamido)ethoxy)phenyl) group inserted into the position (C-10) of the corrole, along with its high-valent (corrolato)(oxo)antimony(V) dimer, was synthesized. In the crystal structure analysis of the FB corrole and the (corrolato)(oxo)antimony(V) dimer complex, it was noted that the sulfonamido group in the ligand periphery sits atop the corrole ring.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on synthesizing 5,15-bis(perfluorophenyl)-10-(4-carboxyphenyl) corrole and its metal complexes with Co(III), Mn(III), and Cu(III) to investigate their ability to catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).
- Various proton sources, including AcOH, trifluoroacetic acid, and TsOH, were tested in dimethylformamide to analyze the pathways (EECC, EECEC, EEECEC) for HER based on acidity and concentration.
- Among the complexes, the Co corrole exhibited the highest efficiency with a turnover frequency of 201 s, showing the catalytic activity ranking as Co > Cu > Mn in
