Abstract:
The solvent-free condensation of heptafluorobutanal and pyrrole leads to the corresponding meso-alkyl-substituted corrole, which was metallated by gallium chloride to provide the first first-row non-transition-metal corrole. Both the ligand and the complex were characterized by X-ray crystallography.
