Heterocorroles: corrole analogues containing heteroatom(s) in the core or at a -position.

Corroles are 18 π aromatic macrocyclic systems having one direct pyrrole-pyrrole linkage leading to a contracted cavity compared to porphyrins. Corroles exhibit contrasting coordination chemistry and properties compared to porphyrins. Structural modification of corroles by introducing a heteroatom in their aromatic conjugation circuit , either in the core or at a position leads to a new class of corrinoids called heterocorroles.
