- Description: Two A2B type H3corroles and two GaIIItriarylcorroles with carbazole substitutions at 10-positions were synthesized and characterized. An analysis of structure–property relationships of the corroles has been carried out by investigating the optical spectroscopy of the dyes to trends predicted in DFT and TD-DFT calculations. Interestingly, the photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) activity properties of the GaIIItriarylcorroles were determined against the MCF-7 breast cancer line, and Staphyloccocus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli), respectively. The cationic G-2Q species exhibited the most favorable properties with an IC50 value of 7.8 μM against MCF-7 cells, and Log reduction values of 7.78 and 3.26 against planktonic S. aureus and E. coli at 0.5 and 10 μM, respectively.

- Description: A series of four multifunctional A2B type H3corroles with meso-borneol substituents at the B position have been synthesized and characterized. A detailed analysis of the optical properties was carried out, and a comparison was made with theoretical calculations to identify the key trends in the structure-property relationships. The meso-borneol substituent couples with the corrole core leading to clear CD signals in the B band region. Enhanced anti-cancer properties are observed in vitro relative to (−)-borneol with cell inhibition rates of up to 94%.

- Description: The rational design and preparation of three A2B type Co(III)triarylcorroles with push- and pull-substituents are reported. The structure-property relationships were identified by comparing their optically spectroscopic and electrochemical properties to trends predicted in DFT and TD-DFT calculations. The results demonstrate that the Co(III)triarylcorroles are highly efficient catalysts for electrocatalyzed hydrogen evolutions (HERs) and oxygen reductions (ORRs), and that their reactivity can be modulated by changing the meso-B-substituent of the Co(III)Corroles.

- Description: Eight porphyrin dimers with various functional bridging blocks and chiral amide-bonds were synthesized and characterized. An analysis of the spectroscopy and electrochemistry has been carried out to demonstrate that the chiral properties can be modified by changing the interchromophoric through-space coupling distance between the two porphyrin chromophores by introducing various bonding and bridging blocks.

- Description: Three fused-ring-expanded rubyrins with modified macrocyclic core have been synthesized and characterized. A series of spectroscopic, electrochemical measurements and a set of theoretical calculations demonstrate that the core-modification of the inner core of rubyrins has a large influence on the electronic structure. Colorimetric changes are observe that demonstrate that these core-modified rubyrins could be used as selective Hg2+ ion sensors. These properties can be fine-tuned by introducing lipophilic substituents on the meso-aryl rings.

- Description: A series of new corrole–BODIPY dyads bridged by ethynyl linker moieties have been synthesized in high yields and fully characterized. The direction of energy transfer upon electronic excitation has been explored, and was found to be dependent on the number of corrole rings and their connection position on the BODIPY core. Intense bands in the absorption spectrum cover most of the visible region, which is potentially advantageous for capturing solar energy. Studies on the excitation spectra and lifetimes suggest that the energy transfer efficiency between the BODIPY and corrole moieties reaches almost 85%, which appears to be efficient in the context of energy transfer within the singlet manifold.
