UV and visible wavelength resonance Raman spectra and Raman excitation profiles were used to assign the electronic transitions of the imidazole (imH) complexes of (CN)5Fe2+ and (NH3)5Ru3+. For the 1st time, the ability of resonance Raman excitation profiles to distinguish between the .pi. orbitals involved in imidazole-metal charge-transfer transitions (LMCT) is demonstrated. LMCT transitions observed in the absorption spectrum at 475 (Fe) and 425 nm (Ru) involve the imidazole .pi.1 orbital which has major electron density associated with the carbon atoms of the ring. The 403 (Fe) and 297 nm (Ru) LMCT transitions involve transitions from the .pi.2 imidazole orbital which has high electron density associated with the nitrogen atoms. The imidazole ring modes of the (CN)5Fe(imH)2- and (NH3)5Ru(imH)3+ complexes are selectively enhanced by these LMCT transitions. The Fe complex has an additional absorption band at 356 nm that is not present in the Ru complex. Excitation within this band results in the exclusive enhancement of the C.tbd.N stretch and a broad low-frequency Fe.sbd.(C.tbd.N) vibration; thus, the 356-nm absorption band is assigned to a d.pi.(Fe) .rarw. CN LMCT. The C.tbd.N stretch is also enhanced within the 403 and 475 nm absorption bands which indicate a strong mixing of the Fe and HCN .pi. orbitals. From the frequency sensitivity to imh deuteration and methyl substitution we tentatively assign the 265-cm-1 vibration of (CN)5Fe(imH)2- to a Fe.sbd.N (imH) stretching vibration. It is unlikely that excitation into similar LMCT transitions in heme proteins such as Hb will result in sufficient Raman intensity to permit studies of proximal histidine-heme interactions.
