Lead corrole complexes in solution: Powerful multielectron transfer reagents for redox catalysis

The first observation of Pb(II)-complexes of corroles and their photoinduced oxidation to the corresponding Pb(IV)-derivatives is reported. These compounds display metal-centered redox chemistry in solution. Their potential for catalytic oxygen atom transfer processes is explored.
