Abstract
A short review of the unique spectral properties of corroles—new members of porphines—is given. Main physical properties of corroles and their covalent dyads with fullerene are presented and discussed. A comparison of corroles properties with those of similar systems containing porphyrins is also given. Some advantages and disadvantages of the corrole-fullerene systems are bring into relief.
