With the exception of a single accidental synthesis, rhenium corroles are unknown, but of great interest as catalysts and potential radiopharmaceuticals. Oxidative metalation of meso ‐triarylcorroles with [Re 2 (CO) 10 ] in refluxing decalin has provided a facile and relatively high‐yielding route to rhenium(V)–oxo corroles. The complexes synthesized could all be fully characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analyses.
