      The influence of fluorinated substituents on the luminescent properties of rhenium-oxo, osmium-nitrido, and gold triarylcorroles was studied via a comparison of four ligands: triphenylcorrole (TPC), tris(ptrifluoromethylphenyl)corrole (TpCF<sub>3</sub>PC), tris{3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)- phenyl}corrole (T3,5-CF<sub>3</sub>PC), and tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole (TPFPC). For each metal series ...

      CONSPECTUS: Porphyrin chemistry is Shakespearean: over a century of study has not withered the field’s apparently infinite variety. Heme proteins continually astonish us with novel molecular mechanisms, while new porphyrin analogues bowl us over with unprecedented optical, electronic, and metal-binding properties. Within the latter domain, corroles occupy a special place, exhibiting a unique ...
