      The interaction of three free-base meso-tris(p-X-phenyl)corroles H3[TpXPC] (X = H, CH3, OCH3) with Re2(CO)10 at 235 °C in the presence of K2CO3 in o-dichlorobenzene has led to putative rhenium biscorrole sandwich compounds with the formula ReH[TpXPC]2. Density functional theory calculations and Re L3-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements suggest a seven-coordinate metal center, ...

      Cao, Rui; Thomas, Kolle E.; Ghosh, Abhik; Sarangi, Ritimukta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-29)
      A 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, ...
