Abstract

(Matrix presented) Following the discovery that meso-substituted corroles are formed in solvent-free condensation of pyrrole with aldehydes, we demonstrate that a small variation in the methodology is suitable for facile synthesis of cobalt(III) corrole and hexaphyrin. These compounds, as well as three noncyclic products, were fully characterized by spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
