L. Simkhovich et al., First syntheses and X-ray structures of a meso-alkyl-substituted corrole and its Ga(III) complex, J INORG BIO, 80(3-4), 2000, pp. 235-238
The solvent-free condensation of heptafluorobutanal and pyrrole leads to th
e corresponding meso-alkyl-substituted corrole, which was metallated by gal
lium chloride to provide the first first-row non-transition-metal corrole.
Both the ligand and the complex were characterized by X-ray crystallography
