Unexpected Molecular Structure of a Putative Rhenium‐Dioxo‐Benzocarbaporphyrin Complex. Implications for the Highest Transition Metal Valence in a Porphyrin‐Type Ligand Environment

Abstract A combination of quantum chemical calculations and synthetic studies was used to address the possibility of very high (>6) valence states of transition metals in porphyrin‐type complexes. With corrole as a supporting ligand, DFT calculations ruled out Re(VII) and Ir(VII) dioxo complexes...
