The UV-visible spectrum of free-base octaethylcorrole, (OECor) H 3, was recorded in thirteen different nonaqueous solvents as well as in a mixed acetonitrile/acid solvent containing one of seven different acids. Spectra were also measured in seven different solutions of neat concentrated acid and in CH 3 CN containing piperidine or tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as an added base. The overall data was analyzed as a function of solvent acidity or basicity parameters and the number of protons on the central nitrogens of the macrocycle, the predominant form of the corrole in these solutions being respresented as (OECor)H 3, [ (OECor)H 4]+, [ (OECor)H 2]− or [ (OECor)H ]2− where OECor = trianion of octaethylcorrole. The mono-protonated corrole, [ (OECor)H 4]+, is formed in concentrated acetic acid or in CH 3 CN containing 0.10 M trifluoroacetic acid, H 2 SO 4, HCl , H 3 PO 4 or HClO 4. The mono-deprotonated corrole, [ (OECor)H 2]−, is generated in piperidine while doubly deprotonated [ (OECor)H ]2− exists in solutions of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. An addition of protons to the macrocycle of [ (OECor)H 4]+ also occurs in the presence of concentrated strong acids and this results in a loss of the characteristic Soret band of the corrole leading presumably to [ (OECor)H 5]2+ where the second proton has been added to a meso-position of the macrocycle. The UV-visible spectral changes upon formation of [ (OECor)H 4]+, [ (OECor)H 2]− or [ (OECor)H ]2− in CH 3 CN were monitored during a titration with the relevent acid or base and equilibrium constants for protonation or deprotonation of (OECor)H 3 were determined using standard equations. The measured logK values are compared to protonation and deprotonation constants obtained for two related corroles and two related porphyrins under the same experimental conditions.
