DFT Study of Molecular Structure, Electronic and Vibrational Spectra of Tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine, Its Perchlorinated Derivative and Their Al, Ga and In Complexes.

Electronic and geometric structures of metal-free, Al, Ga and In complexes with tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine (TPyzPA) and octachlorotetrapyrazinoporphyrazine (TPyzPACl8) were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and compared in order to study the effect of chlorination on the structure and properties of these macrocycles. The nature of the bonds between metal atoms and nitrogen atoms was described using the NBO-analysis. Simulation and interpretation of electronic spectra were performed with the use of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). A description of calculated IR spectra was carried out based on the analysis of the distribution of the potential energy of normal vibrational coordinates.

Molecular Structure, Thermodynamic and Spectral Characteristics of Metal-Free and Nickel Complex of Tetrakis(1,2,5-thiadiazolo)porphyrazine.

The Knudsen effusion method with mass spectrometric control of the vapor composition was used to study the possibility of a congruent transition to the gas phase and to estimate the enthalpy of sublimation of metal-free tetrakis(1,2,5-thiadiazolo)porphyrazine and its nickel complex (H2TTDPz and NiTTDPz, respectively). The geometrical and electronic structure of H2TTDPz and NiTTDPz in ground and low-lying excited electronic states were determined by DFT calculations. The electronic structure of NiTTDPz was studied by the complete active space (CASSCF) method, following accounting dynamic correlation by multiconfigurational quasi-degenerate second-order perturbation theory (MCQDPT2). A geometrical structure of D2h and D4h symmetry was obtained for H2TTDPz and NiTTDPz, respectively. According to data obtained by the MCQDPT2 method, the nickel complex possesses the ground state 1A1g, and the wave function of the ground state has the form of a single determinant. Electronic absorption and vibrational (IR and resonance Raman) spectra of H2TTDPz and NiTTDPz were studied experimentally and simulated theoretically.
