N-Substituted Corroles: A Novel Class of Chiral Ligands.
Although known for almost 35 years, N-substituted corroles have only now been recognized as being chiral. Several examples of these species were prepared in a facile two-step synthesis and separated into their enantiomers by HPLC. The zinc(II) complex of the corrole shown schematically was also synthesized.
