Abstract:
This review describes the known electrochemistry of corroles in nonaqueous media from 1980 until the present. The outline of the review is grouped according to the periodic table, proceeding from left to right, describing first monomeric free-base derivatives and then transition-metal compounds, followed by main-group corroles, before ending with a brief description of lanthanide and actinide corroles. Many similarities exist between the redox properties of metallocorroles and metalloporphyrins, but there are also many differences due, in part, to the different charges of the two conjugated macrocycles and the noninnocence of the corrole ligand in a variety of compounds. One part of this review will focus on describing redox behavior as a function of metal ion and axial ligands, while another will focus on how changes in structure of the macrocycle are associated with changes in redox behavior. It is hoped that this review will answer the majority of the readers' questions as to what has been electrochemically observed for corroles in the past while at the same time enabling the reader to utilize data in the literature to predict and "tune" what might be observed in future electrochemical studies of corroles that have yet to be synthesized and characterized.
