title: Platinum corroles.
abstract: Platinum has been inserted into corroles for the first time and three oxidized Pt(IV)(corrole˙(2-))ArAr' complexes have been structurally characterized. The Soret maxima of these complexes exhibit an unusually strong dependence on the meso-aryl substituents on the corrole, indicating aryl → corrole˙(2-) charge transfer character in these transitions.
