Structural, optical spectroscopy, and DFT studies have recently suggested a remarkable electronic–structural switch between simple silver meso ‐triarylcorroles and silver β‐octabromo‐ meso ‐triarylcorroles: the former were described as essentially innocent and the latter as substantially noninnocent. In a first X‐ray absorption near‐edge spectroscopic (XANES) study of ligand noninnocence in metallocorroles, Ag L 3 ‐edge spectra have now provided direct experimental support for the variable electronic structure of silver corroles.
