The results indicate that all these compounds have two conformers, one with C2 symmetry （denoted as Sl） is more stable than the other （denoted as $2, C1 symmetry） by 15.8-18.5 kJ/mol. The corrole macrocycles of these compounds show significant out-of-plane deformation. The enantiomerizations of the chiral S1 conformers were found to be a multi-step process with the $2 conformers as the intermediates. Electronic absorption spectra and electronic circular dichroism （ECD） of these compounds were calculated with time-dependent DFT. In comparison with H4Cor＋, the UV- Vis absorptions of meso-triaryl species are significantly red-shifted and their Q bands are enhanced due to the π-π conjugation between the aryl and corrole rings. Several neighboring electronic transitions were calculated with opposite signs in rotatory strengths, suggesting that ECD spectroscopy may be a useful tool in studying the electronic transitions of these compounds.展开更多
