• Azulicorrole 

      Larsen, Simon; Mccormick-Mcpherson, Laura J; Teat, Simon J.; Ghosh, Abhik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-12)
      Acid-catalyzed condensation of pyrrole, 4-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde, and azulene, followed by DDQ oxidation, has resulted in the isolation of the novel macrocycle azulicorrole, arguably the first example of a carbacorrole aside from N-confused corrole. Despite poor yields (<1%), the free ligand could be structurally characterized and converted to the formal Cu(III) and Au(III) derivatives, of which ...
    • Iridium Corroles Exhibit Weak Near-Infrared Phosphorescence but Efficiently Sensitize Singlet Oxygen Formation 

      Thomassen, Ivar Kristian; Mccormick-Mcpherson, Laura J; Borisov, Sergey M.; Ghosh, Abhik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-05)
      Six-coordinate iridium(III) triarylcorrole derivatives, Ir[T<i>p</i>XPC)]L<sub>2</sub>, where T<i>p</i>XPC = tris(<i>para</i>-X-phenyl)corrole (X = CF<sub>3</sub>, H, Me, and OCH<sub>3</sub>) and L = pyridine (py), trimethylamine (tma), isoquinoline (isoq), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (dmap), and 4-picolinic acid (4pa), have been examined, with a view to identifying axial ligands most conducive to ...
    • Rhenium Corrole Dimers: Electrochemical Insights into the Nature of the Metal–Metal Quadruple Bond 

      Alemayehu, Abraham; Mccormick-Mcpherson, Laura J; Conradie, Jeanet; Ghosh, Abhik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-17)
      The interaction of free-base triarylcorroles with Re<sub>2</sub>(CO)<sub>10</sub> in 1,2- dichlorobenzene in the presence of 2,6-lutidine at 180 °C under strict anerobic conditions afforded approximately 10% yields of rhenium corrole dimers. The compounds exhibited diamagnetic <sup>1</sup> H NMR spectra consistent with a metal−metal quadruple bond with a σ<sup>2</sup> π<sup>4</sup> δ<sup>2</sup> ...
