19. The fact that these distances are all fairly similar is dictated by the steric constraints of the corrole macrocycle. The fact that the bond distances involving silver and gold are similar is explained by their similar ionic radii, 0.89 and 0.99 Å, respectively, for the 3+ ions, which may be compared with significantly smaller values of 0.54 Å for CuIII and 0.73 Å for CuII: Shannon, R. D. Acta Crystallogr. 1976, A32, 751-767.
20. The fact that copper corroles are inherently11 saddled was first noted in: Alemayehu, A. B.; Gonzalez, E.; Hansen, L.-K.; Ghosh, A. Inorg. Chem. 2009, 48, 7794-7799.
21. The term "inherent" or "intrinsic" refers to the fact that the saddling is driven primarily by metal-ligand orbital interactions and not by peripheral substituents, although the latter can accentuate the saddling. The term "intrinsic ruffling" has been used for nickel porphyrins: Kozlowski, P. M.; Rush, T. S.; Jarzecki, A. A.; Zgierski, M. Z.; Chase, B.; Piffat, C.; Ye, B.-H.; Li, X.-Y.; Pulay, P.; Spiro, T. G. J. Phys. Chem. A 1999, 103, 1357-1366.
22. The two HOMOs of corrole, a2 and b1 in C2v symmetry, are very similar in shape to the porphyrin a1u and a2u HOMOs, respectively. We will therefore continue to use the D4h porphyrin irreps to describe the corrole HOMOs: Ghosh, A.; Wondimagegn, T.; Parusel, A. B. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 5100-5104.
