Abstract: | Ab initio calculations are performed to understand the geometry, electronic structure, and vibrational frequencies of nickel porphyrin (NiP). Hartree-Fock (HF) and second-order perturbation (MP2) theories are applied with polarized basis sets. The calculated geometrical parameters are in very good agreement with the crystal structure determination. The electronic structure and bonding are analyzed in terms of complexation and correlation effects. Not unexpectedly, the HF depiction of the metal-porphyrin interaction is rather ionic while ligand σ donation is dominant at the MP2 level. Scaled HF frequencies of NiP and its isotopomers are in very good agreement with observed infrared and resonance Raman data. Received: 7 January 1997 / Accepted: 6 May 1997 |
