Corroles are tetrapyrrolic aromatic macrocycles. Recently, our group reported highly regioselective modification reaction of corroles by Ir-catalyzed direct borylation with Miyaura protocol. This time, we have achieved to synthesize doubly linked corrole dimers with direct linkages. The doubly linked corrole dimer showed the similar metalation behavior. Its structure was confirmed by X-ray crystal analysis as its cobalt complex. On the other hand, doubly linked corrole dimers easily oxidized by DDQ to give a product with unique properties.
