Vilsmeier–Haack formylation of ReO and Au meso-triarylcorroles over 16–18 hours affords moderate
to good yields (47–65%) of the ReO-3-formyl and Au-3,17-diformyl derivatives in a highly
regioselective manner. Formylation was found to effect substantial upshifts for redox potentials
(especially the reduction potentials) as well as significant to dramatic redshifts for both the Soret and
Q bands.
