Abstract:
Owing to their high reactivity, the meso-positions of corroles and corrins are usually protected by some bulky groups. These groups in addition to the said purpose may also affect the photophysical properties of such systems. However, there is no systematic study in the literature exploring this effect. In this work, we target to answer how the meso-substitution affects the photophysical properties in some heterocorroles and heterocorrins. We considered one of the commonly used substitutions, i.e., pentafluorophenyl (-PFPh), at meso positions of 26 heterocorroles and heterocorrins. We employed the state-of-the-art CC2 method in conjunction with resolution-of-identity approximation to study the charge-transfer and one- and two-photon absorption in these systems. It is further explored using a four-state model that helps in understanding the contribution of various transition dipole moments and their relative orientation. At the end, we also investigated the effect of other substitutions such as -CH3, -CF3, -C2H3, -OMe, -phenyl, and -tolyl on two-photon activity.

Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
