Abstract

A novel perfluorinated corrole, 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octafluoro-5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole, and its manganese(III) and oxomanganese(V) derivatives have been synthesized. The perfluorinated manganese corrolate exhibited excellent reactivity and stability in the catalytic oxidation of alkenes with iodosylbenzene.
