Fig. 7 Solid and dashed lines are used for the emission spectra of 6 and 5,
respectively, in toluene at room temperature, while black and red lines denote
excitation at 416 and 460 nm, respectively. The measurements were made on
solutions of 5 (1.35 × 10−6 M−1) and 6 (1.36 × 10−6 M−1) with the same optical
density at 416 nm.

A corrole-BODIPY conjugate and its iridium(III) complex have
been prepared under mild conditions in high yield, so that the
luminescence enhancement in such core-shell systems can be
assessed. The efficient excited state energy transfer from the

results in an enhancement of the fluorescent intensity of the
corrole by 300%, while the phosphorescent intensity of the
iridium(III) corrole-BODIPY conjugate is also increased
markedly, making them potentially suitable for applications in
solar cells and OLEDs.
