Resonance Raman (RR) spectra are reported for five hemoproteins:(a) ferrocytochrome b5;(b) oxyhemoglobin;(c) ferricytochrome 65;(d) deoxyhemoglobin; and (e) methemoglobin. Compound a shows background fluorescence bands which give evidence for incomplete vibrational relaxation. Relative fluorescence yields for (a): palladium mesoporphyrimzinc mesoporphyrin are 1: 2.5 X 102: 104. Compounds (b) through (e) show no fluorescence but decreasing RR intensity. The presence of fluorescence in (a) and the decreasing RR in-tensity of (a) through (e) are attributed to decreasing electronic radiationless decay times, re, from 100 to 3 fs across the series (a)>(b)>(c)~(d)>(e). The times re are estimated from the resolution of the visible ab-sorption bands. Iterative extended Hückel calculations are used to rationalize re: Thus for (a) the visible band is^(,*) and at lower energy the only state of the same spin is 1 (d, d); for (b) at lower energy than 4Q (ir, ir*) there is not only a possible 1 (d, d) state but singlets involving transitions on the O2 ligand and charge transfer singlets ring-» oxygen; for (c) the visible excited state is 2Q (tt, t*) and there are 2 (d, d), 2 (ir, d), and 2 (,*) excited states at lower energy; similarly for (d) there are 5 (d, d) and 5 (,*) at lower energy than the visible state 5Q (t, t*); finally (e) has both ánd 6 (Tr, d) electronic states in the visible energy region with heavy vibronic mixing between them. The roles of photon coherence time, rp, and vibrational re-laxation, rv, in determining the nature of the scattering process are explored.
