title: The first TDDFT and MCD studies of free base triarylcorroles: a closer look into solvent-dependent UV-visible absorption.
abstract: Absorption spectra of several free base triarylcorroles were investigated by MCD spectroscopy. The MCD spectra exhibit unusual sign-reverse (positive-to-negative intensities in ascending energy) features in the Soret- and Q-type band regions, suggesting a rare ΔHOMO < ΔLUMO relationship between π and π* MOs in the corrole core.
