title: Metal Complexes of meso-meso Linked Corrole Dimers.
abstract: Cobalt, gallium, silver, and copper complexes of 5,5'-linked corrole dimer 1 and 10,10'-linked corrole dimer 2 were synthesized by metalations with Co(OAc)2·4H2O, GaCl3, AgOAc, and Cu(OAc)2·H2O, respectively, in good yields. The structures of cobalt(III), gallium(III), and silver(III) complexes have been unambiguously revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Their optical and electrochemical properties have been studied, which revealed different electronic interactions between the two corrole units depending upon the positions of meso-meso linkage and axial-ligand coordination modes.
