Abstract

The photophysics and electronic structure of tribenzotetraazachlorins (H2, Zn, and Mg), which are novel analogues of phtalocyanines, have been studied experimentally and theoretically. At 293 K, the electronic absorption, fluorescence, and fluorescence excitation spectra are recorded and the fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime, as well as the quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation, are measured; at 77 K, the fluorescence, fluorescence excitation, and fluorescence polarization spectra are recorded and the fluorescence lifetime values are measured. The dependences of the absorption spectra and photophysical parameters on the structure variation are analyzed in detail. Quantum-chemical calculations of the electronic structure and absorption spectra of tribenzotetraazachlorins (H2, Mg) are performed using the INDO/Sm method (modified INDO/S method) based on molecular-geometry optimization by the DFT PBE/TZVP method. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the electronic absorption spectra are in very good agreement with the experimental data for the transitions to two lower electronic states.
