Спектры РКР Co(II)- и Cu-5,10,15,20-тетракис[4-(N-метилпиридил)]порфирина в возбужденном dd-состоянии и механизмы его дезактивации в растворе и комплексах с ДНК

Abstract

A study of the resonance Raman scattering (RRS) spectra of Co(II)- and Cu-5,10,15,20-tetrakis [4-(N-methylpyridyl)]porphyrin (CoIITMpyP4, CuTMpyP4) in various solvents and in complex with DNA was carried out. Additional lines were found in the RRS spectra of CoIITMpyP4 in a dimethylformamide (DMF) solution containing formic acid as an impurity, as well as for its complex with DNA under nanosecond pulsed excitation. At the same time, under the same excitation conditions, such lines are absent in the spectra of CoIITMpyP4 solutions in pure DMF, dimethyl sulfoxide, water, and alcohols. To interpret the experimental data, we performed calculations of the structure and vibrations for the solvate complexes of CoII - and CuTMpyP4 with water, methanol and formic acid in the ground and in excited states. Based on the data obtained, additional lines in the Raman spectra were assigned to the excited dd-state corresponding to the d(z2) d(x2-y2) transition, the lifetime of which increases with the formation of complexes of CoIITMpyP4 with formic acid. According to the calculation results, this correlates with a decrease in the rate constant of the internal conversion kic due to an increase in the energy gap E between the ground and dd states of CoIITMpyP4. In the case of CoII and CuTMpyP4 binding to DNA, the decrease in kic is due to the additional interaction of the extra-liganding water molecule directly or with the participation of several immobilized DNA water molecules with one of its bases. This complicates the conformational rearrangement of the water molecule in the dd-state, which contributes to an increase in E.
