Abstract

The changing of the electronic and vibronic states due to the insertion of Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) or Co(II) ions in the meso-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)porphyrin ring center is investigated. The combination of absorption, photoluminescence, Raman and infrared spectroscopies with second-derivative-based spectral deconvolution analysis reveals that the structuration of both B- and Q-bands is very sensitive to the decorating ion. Similar to free base porphyrins, metal(II) meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrins also present their Q-band constituted of multiple electronic transitions, where the central ion plays an important role in the selection of vibration modes that mediate the vibronic transitions. Our novel results will expand and reinterpret current assignments for metal(II) meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrins vibrational modes available in the literature.

Keywords: Metal(II) meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrins; Molecular symmetry; Multiple electronic transitions; Second derivative analysis.
