Photochemistry and Photophysics of Metal Porphyrins, Phthalocyanins, and Metal Ions in Supramolecular Systems

  • Chapter
Photochemistry and Photophysics of Metal Complexes

Part of the book series: Modern Inorganic Chemistry ((MICE))

Abstract

The absorption spectra of metal porphyrin complexes have been widely studied. These spectra can be classified into the two categories of those for the regular and those for the irregular porphyrins. For the regular porphyrins, their absorption and emission spectra are primarily determined by the π-electrons in the porphyrin ring, and the effect of the metal center on the spectral features is minimal. For the irregular porphyrins, the presence of the metal ion results in significant differences in the absorption and emission spectra from those of the porphyrin ring itself. The absorption spectra of irregular porphyrins can be classified as hypso and hyper. The hypso absorption spectra resemble the regular spectra but they are shifted to shorter wavelength. These absorption spectra are observed for transition metal porphyrin complexes of Groups 8 and 1B that have the electronic configurations d n where n = 6–9, and those that have the e g levels filled. The hyper absorption spectra are similar, but they have an additional band at wavelengths longer than 320 nm.
