It was found that the demetalation yields depend on the substituents of corrole macrocycle significantly. Electron- rich manganese corrole undergoes reductive demetalation more easily than electron-deficient ones. The isolated reductive demetalation yield of manganese 5,10,15-tris(phenyl)corrole in present system is moderate (46%). As for electron-deficient Mn(Ⅲ) 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole, the acid-induced demetalation in HOAc-HESO4 (V/V = 3:1) is preferable with an isolated yield of 67%.展开更多
