The first resonance Raman spectra of gas-phase porphyrins are reported. An extensive temperature-dependent study of the Raman spectra of Ni(II) and Co(II) octaethylporphine both in the gas phase and in condensed solution phases demonstrates a large temperature dependence of the Raman frequencies. The small frequency differences observed between the gas- and condensed-phase samples indicate that the van der Waals interactions occurring in hydrocarbon solvents do not affect the heme frequencies. The temperature dependence of the Raman frequencies shows an apparent activation energy. This temperature dependence is interpreted as arising from anharmonic interactions between high-frequency vibrations and thermally populated low-frequency vibrations. Frequency shifts as large as 15 cm-1 are observed between 40 and 600 K for the heme core size dependent Raman vibrations. These shifts may be interpreted as an expansion of the heme ring as low-frequency vibrations are thermally populated. The large temperature dependence of the heme vibrational frequencies may account for some of the spectral shifts observed in photochemically generated transient Raman studies in heme proteins. Transient heme temperature increases of greater than 100 K are expected to occur during photolysis of liganded heme complexes such as carbon monoxyhemoglobin and carbon monoxymyoglobin. This temperature increase will result in shifts to lower frequency for the heme Raman vibrations.
