Raman spectra of pxyhemocyanin, excitedin resonance with theintense 345-nm absorption, show strong enhance-ment of modes below 350 cm-1, some of which are assignable to copper-imidazole stretching vibrations via 63Cu/65Cu and H2O/D2O frequency shifts. Arthropod and mollusc proteins show somewhat different intensity patterns, although different species within the same class show the same pattern. The isotope shifts imply an asymmetric disposition of the imidazole li-gands, and the frequencies are consistent with two imidazoles sharing a tetragonal plane with the ligands bridging the two Cu2+ ions, and a third imidazoleoccupying an apical position. Enhancement of the 0-0 stretching mode is much lower, and is comparable to that observed for resonance with the 570-nm absorptionband, despite the 20-fold lower absorptivity of the latter. The implied disparity in the Franck-Condon productsassociated with thetwo transitions is consistent with their assignment to charge-transfer transitionsfrom the two different 022-* orbitals. The higherenergy transition is associated with the lower energy orbital, which is less antibonding with respect to the 0-0 bond. Surprisingly, the Cu-02 stretching mode has not been detected; its intensity must be at least fivefold lower than that of the 0-0 stretch. A broad (~ 50 cm-1) Raman band is seen at 1075 cm-1, which is attributable to an electronic Raman effect. Assignment to thesinglet-» triplet transition of the coupled Cu2+ pair is suggested.
