We present the synthesis of Sn(IV)-corrole complexes that bind to carboxylate moieties reversibly, via axial ligation. The systems have been predominantly characterized using H-1 NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and MALDI mass spectrometry. The dynamic nature of the Sn(IV)-O2CR bond has been studied in solution using 2D-NMR spectroscopy.
