dc.description.abstractA combination of Cr K-edge XAS and DFT calculations have been performed on archetypal chromium porphyrinoid complexes Cr<sup>IV</sup>[TMP]O (<b>2</b>) and Cr<sup>V</sup>[TPC]O (<b>3</b>), and the results have been compared to the reference compound Cr<sup>III</sup>[TPP]Cl (<b>1</b>), where TPP<sup>2−</sup>, TMP<sup>2−</sup>, and TPC<sup>3−</sup> are the anions of <i>meso</i>-tetraphenylporphyrin, <i>meso</i>-tetramesitylporphyrin, and <i>meso</i>-triphenylcorrole, respectively. The intensity-weighted average energy position in <b>1</b> (5990.9 eV), <b>2</b> (5992.0 eV) and <b>3</b> (5992.6 eV) are consistent with increasing the metal oxidation state along the series. EXAFS and theoretical analysis of <b>2</b> and <b>3</b> reveal that the Cr–O bond is longer and weaker in <b>3</b> relative to <b>2</b>, despite the structural similarity and increase in oxidation state in <b>3</b>. This is also reflected in a comparison of the Cr K-pre-edge transitions. The roughly twenty-fold increase in intensity in the two oxo complexes is unsurprising and well-precedented for other first-row transition metals. However, although <b>3</b> had greater overall intensity, the intensity of transitions along the Cr–O bond is greater. EXAFS, DFT and TDDFT analyses show that the more contracted N<sub>4</sub> core of the corrole results in a greater out-of-plane displacement of the Cr in <b>3</b> relative to <b>2</b>, which in turn accentuates the lower local symmetry of the Cr in <b>3</b> relative to <b>2</b>. This difference helps us to appreciate the TDDFT result that whereas two 1s→ 3d<sub>z2</sub> transitions make up the majority of the intensity in the pre-edge of <b>2</b>, the pre-edge of <b>3</b> also includes fairly intense transitions to molecular orbitals with 3d<sub>xz</sub>, 3d<sub>yz</sub> and 3d<sub>z2</sub> character, thus accounting for the somewhat higher overall intensity for <b>3</b>.en_US
