Abstract
Optical absorption spectra of vapors of metal complexes of octaethylporphyrins known from the literature are analyzed on the basis of notions about sequences as basic elements of the formation of electronic-vibrational bands. According to this analysis, major features of these spectra are explained. These features include considerable half-widths of the electronic-vibrational bands of rarefied vapors, when intermolecular interactions virtually do not affect the broadening; a Lorentzian intensity distribution over the contour of the 0-0 spectral band; long-wavelength shifts of the intensity maxima of bands with increasing temperature; and the origin of a fine structure of the electronic and vibrational spectra at low temperatures. It was concluded that sequential transitions form the basis of the mechanism of formation and broadening of the electronic and vibrational spectra of metal complexes of octaethylporphyrins as representatives of complex biomolecules.
