The synthesis of NiII and AlIII 10-azacorroles through coordination-induced cyclisation involving 1,2-migration

Abstract

We have synthesized NiII and AlIII 10-azacorroles through coordination-induced cyclisation of nitrogen-bridged bisdipyrrins. AlIII 10-azacorrole displayed contrasting optoelectronic behaviours from NiII 10-azacorrole, underlining the different electronic effects of the azacorrole ligand from the porphyrin.
