Article Abstract
5,15-bis(perfluorophenyl)-10-(4-carboxyphenyl) corrole and its Co(III), Mn(III), and Cu(III) corrole complexes were synthesized. The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of these metal corrole complexes was investigated using different proton sources (AcOH, trifluoroacetic acid, and TsOH) in an organic dimethylformamide solvent. The electrocatalytic HER may proceed through EECC, EECEC, or EEECEC pathways (where E represents electron transfer and C represents proton binding) depending on the acidity and concentration of the proton source used. The Co corrole complex exhibits remarkable hydrogen production performance, achieving a turnover frequency of 201 s and a catalytic efficiency of 1.00. The examined metal corrole complexes also exhibit good HER activity in aqueous solution, with their catalytic activity following an order of 1-Co>1-Cu>1-Mn in both organic and aqueous phases.

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.

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.
