Earth-abundant first row transition metal corrole
complexes have played an important role in fundamental research due to their
unique molecular structures and attractive properties. In comparison to
porphyrins, corroles have three inner N-H protons and are ring-contracted with
a smaller macrocyclic cavity. First row transition metal corroles have been
widely used as effective electrochemical catalysts for small molecule
activations, such as hydrogen evolution, oxygen reduction/evolution and CO2
reduction reactions (HERs, ORRs/OERs and CO2 RRs) through homogenous and/or
heterogenous prodecures. Several strategies have been used to modulate the
catalytic efficiency of synthetic metallocorroles.
