Ruffling and doming: Structural and redox studies on meso-aryl and β-alkyl chromyl(V)corroles

    Chromyl(V) complexes of eleven different meso-aryl- and β-alkylcorrole ligands have been prepared and characterized by analytical, spectroscopical, electrochemical and structural means. All seven new complexes show the expected optical spectra of chromyl(V) corroles with the Soret band situated slightly above (meso-arylcorroles) or below (β-alkylcorrole) 400 nm, and with an isotropic room temperature EPR signal for the d1 ion Cr(V) at about giso=1.985. Cyclic voltammetry evidences two or three quasi-reversible one-electron redox steps, which are characterized as two ligand-centered processes and one metal-centered process based on spectroelectrochemical measurements and a Hammett analysis. Chemical reduction to a chromyl(IV) corrolate was successfully performed using NaHg and NEt3. Citric acid, however, produces a different reduction product, for which an isocorrole structure is proposed. Six chromyl(V) corroles could be analysed by seven single crystal diffraction analyses. The obtained molecular data prove the presence of remarkably similar CrN4O coordination units independent of the corrole substitution pattern, and of macrocyclic conformations which can be understood as comprised mainly of a doming mode, a more or less pronounced saddling mode, and one out of two different and dominating ruffling modes.
