Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Heavy‐element corroles are of great interest as optical sensors, near‐IR dyes, phosphors, organic light‐emitting diodes, and anticancer compounds. Insertion of 5d metals into corroles, however, is often a difficult and unpredictable process. Against this backdrop, oxidative metalation of meso triarylcorroles with [Os₃(CO)₁₂]/NaN₃ in refluxing 1:2 diethylene glycol monomethyl ether/glycol has provided a convenient and relatively high‐yielding route to nitridoosmium(VI) corroles, three of which could be characterized with single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis.</p> </abstract>
