title: Synthesis of lithium corrole and its use as a reagent for the preparation of cyclopentadienyl zirconium and titanium corrole complexes.
abstract: The lithium corrole complex (Mes(2)(p-OMePh)corrole)Li(3)·6THF (1·6THF), prepared via deprotonation of the free-base corrole with lithium amide, acts as precursor for the preparation of cyclopentadienyl zirconium(iv) corrole (2) and pentamethylcyclopentadienyl titanium(IV) corrole (3).
