Reductive coupling and protonation leading to diboroncorroles with a B–H–B bridge

Abstract

The reaction of PhBCl2 with free base triarylcorroles results in a spontaneous reduction to give diboron corrole complexes (PhBHBPh)(Cor) in which a proton has been captured to form a bridging B–H–B group encapsulated within the corrole ligand. The proposed mechanism is supported by the reaction of PhBF2 with H3Cor to give (PhBF)(BPh)(Cor) in which no reduction has occurred.
