Title: Tungsten Biscorroles: New Chiral Sandwich Compounds

Abstract

Abstract The oxidative metalation method, involving the interaction of free‐base meso ‐triarylcorroles and W(CO) 6 in refluxing decalin, led to a set of three tungsten(VI) biscorroles, the first homoleptic sandwich compounds involving corroles. Single‐crystal X‐ray structures of two of the complexes revealed square‐antiprismatic coordination and strongly domed corroles with long W−N distances of 2.15–2.22 Å and a substantial displacement of ∼1.17 Å of the metal relative to the mean N 4 planes of the ligands. The structures correspond to approximate C 2 symmetry and are thus chiral. DFT calculations strongly indicate that the enantiomers are configurationally stable and hence amenable to chiral resolution. Their other notable properties include a strongly blueshifted Soret band at (357±2) nm, a relatively intense π→W(d ) near‐IR feature at (781±3) nm, and a low electrochemical HOMO–LUMO gap of approximately 1.3 V. The results obtained herein suggest that metallobiscorroles may emerge as a new class of inherently chiral chromophores with novel optical and electrochemical properties.
