A new series of nonplanar and unsymmetrically βfunctionalized "push−pull" copper corroles, CuTPC(CHO)R 7 [R = H, Br, Ph, Me, or 2-thienyl (Th)], were synthesized and characterized to elucidate the effect of β-functionalization and nonplanarity on the photophysical, redox, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties on the corrole ring. The synthetic route to unsymmetrically β-octasubstituted copper corroles includes bromination of CuTPC(CHO) to get CuTPC(CHO)Br 7 in 80% yield, which was further subjected to the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki reaction. CuTPC(CHO)Br 7 exhibited a large red shift in the Soret band (Δλ max = 35−40 nm) and both the Q bands (Δλ max = 10−50 nm), as compared to CuTPC and CuTPC(CHO). CuTPC(CHO)Br 7 was 510 and 290 mV anodically shifted in the first oxidation and the first reduction compared to CuTPC owing to the strong −I effect of CHO and Br groups. Density functional theory studies revealed that all the β-octasubstituted copper corroles exhibited highly nonplanar saddle-shape conformation of the corrole ring. Very high torsional saddling was observed for CuTPC(CHO)Th 7 (79−83°) than that for CuTPC (49−53°), even larger than that for CuTPCBr 8 (67−70°). Femtosecond laser-induced third-order NLO studies from these copper corroles showed strong twophoton absorption cross-sections (0.48−6.98 × 10 4 GM) and self-focusing-type positive nonlinear refraction behavior. The observed structure-dependent two-photon absorption coefficients (β) are in the range of ∼2.7−20.9 × 10 −12 m/W, and the n 2 values are in the range of ∼0.64−6.45 × 10 −18 m 2 /W. The present results may facilitate a new window for these copper corroles in nonlinear optical devices, femtosecond optical limiters, and many other ultrafast photonic applications.
