Electrochemistry of Innocent and Noninnocent Metallocorroles

Our laboratories have long been interested in the redox properties of four-, five- and six-coordinate metallocorroles (Chart 1) with different donor axial ligands and a variety of peripheral corrole substituents. In this work, we describe and compare our most recent results on different transition metal derivatives containing highly electron withdrawing substituents at the meso-positions of the macrocycle.
