• Rapid one-pot synthesis of pyrrole-appended isocorroles 

      Larsen, Simon; McCormick, Laura J; Ghosh, Abhik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-06)
      Free-base <i>meso</i>-triarylcorroles have been found to undergo oxidative coupling with an excess of pyrrole in dichloromethane in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) affording 5/10-pyrrole-appended isocorroles in reasonable yields (35–60%) and in a matter of seconds. The free-base isocorrole ligands could all be complexed to copper with Cu(OAc)<sub>2</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O ...
    • Relativistic Effects on a Metal-Metal Bond: Osmium Corrole Dimers 

      Alemayehu, Abraham; McCormick, Laura J; Vazquez Lima, Hugo; Ghosh, Abhik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-07)
      A series of metal–metal bonded osmium corrole dimers, {Os[TpXPC]}2, were synthesized in reasonably good yields (35–46%) via the interaction of the corresponding free-base meso-tris(p-X-phenyl)corroles (H3[TpXPC], X = CF3, H, CH3, and OCH3), Os3(CO)12, and potassium carbonate in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene under an inert atmosphere at 180 °C over several hours. The complexes are only the second class of ...
    • Stable Platinum(IV) Corroles: Synthesis, Molecular Structure, and Room-Temperature Near-IR Phosphorescence 

      Alemayehu, Abraham; McCormick, Laura J; Gagnon, Kevin J.; Borisov, Sergey M.; Ghosh, Abhik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-17)
      A series of stable Pt(IV) corrole complexes with the general formula Pt<sup>IV</sup>[TpXPC](<i>m/p</i>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>CN)(py), where TpXPC<sup>3–</sup> is the trianion of a tris(<i>p</i>-X-phenyl)corrole and X = CF<sub>3</sub>, H, and CH<sub>3</sub>, has been synthesized, affording key physicochemical data on a rare and elusive class of metallocorroles. Single-crystal X-ray structures of ...
