The recent preparation of a lithium corrole metathesis reagent has allowed for the efficient synthesis of a range of new metallocorroles. Furthering this research, we have explored group 4 corrole chloride complexes due to the potential they have to exhibit rich organometallic chemistry similar to their porphyrin analogues.This research deals with the chemistry of Ti, Zr and Hf corrole chlorides, which are a robust platform for the study of bonding and reactivity of early transition metal corrole complexes.
