Abstract: Syntheses, characterization and properties of expanded corrole-ferrocene conjugates are reported. Ferrocenyl group are covalently linked to the corrole macrocycle through three different spacers groups. The synthetic strategy involved prior insertion of ferrocene with spacers to the dipyrromethane unit followed by a "3+2" acid-catalyzed oxidative coupling methodology. The optical and emission data of the expanded corrole-ferrocene conjugates depend on the nature and length of the spacer groups and the maximum effects are seen where ferrocene is directly linked to the meso carbon of macrocycle. The single crystal X-ray structure of two expanded corrole-ferrocene conjugates; [22]pentaphyrin (1.1.0.1.0) with different meso substituents, clearly reveal shortening of the C-C bond length linking the meso carbon and the aryl substituent containing the ferrocene moiety relative to meso aryl substituents without ferrocene. The results suggest that an electronic interaction between the two it systems. Electrochemical data reveal harder oxidation for the ferrocene unit in the conjugates relative to free ferro-cene; this suggests the electron donating nature of the ferrocene. The first corrole ring oxidation shows easier oxidation relative to 1 and the magnitude of shifts in potential is inversely proportional to the length of spacer. The molecular first hyperpolarizabilities () measured at 1064 nm by HRS method vary in the range 20-32 x 10(-30) esu and imply that the values can be increased by enhancing the number of mobile electrons in the conjugation. The conjugates form 1:1 metal complex with the Rh-I where rhodium is coordinated to one amino and one imino nitrogen of the dipyrromethane unit.
