Electronic Structure of Copper Corroles Academic Article

abstract

• AbstractThe ground state electronic structure of copper corroles has been a topic of debate and revision since the advent of corrole chemistry. Computational studies formulate neutral Cu corroles with an antiferromagnetically coupled CuII corrole radical cation ground state. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy, EPR, and magnetometry support this assignment. For comparison, CuII isocorrole and [TBA][Cu(CF3)4] were studied as authentic CuII and CuIII samples, respectively. In addition, the oneelectron reduction and oneelectron oxidation processes are both ligandbased, demonstrating that the CuII centre is retained in these derivatives. These observations underscore ligand noninnocence in copper corrole complexes.
