The newly synthesized metalloporphycenes represent a class of molecules that are structural isomers of metalloporphyrins. In particular, the Ni{sup II} and Cu{sup II} complexes of 2,7,12,17-tetrapropylporphycene (NiPPC and CuPPC) display UV-visible absorption and resonance Raman (RR) spectra superficially like those of analogous complexes of octaethylporphyrin (OEP). However, close examination of absorption band positions and spectral shifts caused by metal substitution and ring bromination, as well as relative oscillator strengths, suggest that, unlike those of metalloporphyrins, the {pi} {yields} {pi}* states of NiPPC and CuPPC are adequately defined by one-electron wave functions. Thus, the {pi}-electron configuration interaction that gives rise to Gouterman's Q and B metalloporphyrin excited states is weak in metalloporphycenes. Rather, these novel complexes appear to be a near-perfect example of Platt's long-field molecules. Raman spectra in resonance with the major absorptions of CuPPC show little evidence of Jahn-Teller or Herzber-Teller coupling. Thus, the rich vibronic coupling present in metalloporphyrins giving rise to the celebrated anomalously polarized scattering most likely does not complicate the spectra of metalloporphycenes. Vibrational analyses of RR spectra of specifically deuterated derivatives of NiPPC give some insight into the normal mode compositions.
