Abstract

The spectral manifestations of the distorted forms of sterically unconstrained metallocomplexes of porphyrin in rare gas and Shpol'skii matrices at cryogenic temperatures were detected. The planar and two kinds of distorted conformations of the Mg - and Zn -porphyrins in rare gas matrices have been measured simultaneously in the fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra due to external heavy atom effect. The distinctly different frequencies of the vibronic transitions have been revealed for planar and distorted forms. In the phosphorescence spectra of the Pd -porphyrin the manifestation of the two forms in the ground state has been proven also, with one of them being planar and the other being saddle-type distorted. The ratio of the planar and non-planar forms was shown to depend on the deuteration of both meso-positions of the porphyrin and n-alkane matrix. The appearance of the out-of-plane modes in the phosphorescence spectra of the Pd - and Pt -porphyrin has been demonstrated.
