A new 2-chloro-5,10,15-tris（2,4,6-triphenylphenyl）-corrole was accidentally synthesized in an acceptable yield of 5.7% during the synthesis of its parent corrole, in which DDQ served as oxidant and chlorinating agent. The compound was well characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis,;H NMR, mass spectroscopy and absorption spectroscopy. Photophysical properties tests revealed that the chlorination caused a sharp decrease in fluorescence intensity, fluorescence life time, and fluorescence quantum yield.Electrochemical investigation demonstrated the positive shift of redox potentials for chlorinated corrole as compared to non-chlorinated corrole.
