Abstract: | Hyper-Raman spectra were obtained for zinc phthalocyanine in a dilute pyridine solution at excitation wavelengths that are two-photon resonant with the one-photon-allowed B band (360-380 nm) as well as with the two-photon absorption near 440 nm reported by Drobizhev et al. ( J. Chem. Phys. 2006, 124, 224701 ). In both regions, the hyper-Raman spectra were very different from the linear resonance Raman spectra at the corresponding excitation frequencies. While the resonance Raman spectra show only g symmetry modes, almost all of the hyper-Raman frequencies can be assigned as fundamentals of E u symmetry that also are observed in the infrared absorption spectrum or E u symmetry combination bands. These results contrast sharply with previous observations of highly noncentrosymmetric push-pull conjugated molecules and are consistent with a structure for phthalocyanine in solution that is centrosymmetric or nearly so. The hyper-Raman spectra show different intensity patterns in the two excitation regions, consistent with different Franck-Condon and/or vibronic coupling matrix elements for the different resonant states. |
