This presentation will focus on the preparation and characterization of a new series of corrole complexes with lanthanide and actinide elements. Two synthetic routes have been established: the first involves a metathesis reaction employing a new Li3corrole species in combination with metal halide salts; the second exploits amine elimination chemistry via the H3corrole macrocycle and well-known M[N(SiMe3)2]2 complexes. In studying these complexes, a range of characterization techniques have been employed including X-ray crystallography, electronic and IR spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and magnetism.
