A surprising effect of halide substituents on reduction potentials and catalytic activity of beta-pyrrole halogenated cobalt corroles has been deduced by experimental and computational methods. The proton-activating cobalt(I), as well as the cobalt(II) corrole that is formed in the step during which hydrogen is formed, were characterized by NMR spectroscopy.
