The approach developed previously to assign the major π → π* and π* → π* bands in the optical spectra of metallophthalocyanine radical species [ MPc (−n)](n−2)− (n = 1–6), which was based on spectral band deconvolution analyses of the UV-vis absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra and ZINDO calculations, is reviewed in this paper and extended to the major bands observed in the spectrum of the zinc tetraphenylporphyrin radical anion [ ZnTPP (−3)]−. The magnetic circular dichroism spectrum is dominated by an intense pseudo A term associated with the B (or Soret) transition with bands at 445 and 465 nm. Weaker bands associated with the π* → π* transition out of the partially filled LUMO give rise to two widely separated, oppositely signed, coupled B terms in the MCD spectrum at 538 and 910 nm. The Q transition is assigned to a weak absorption band at 750 nm and a shoulder slightly to the blue at 728 nm.

Absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra are reported for the metallophthalocyanine-N-isologs: magnesium-3,4-pyridinoporphrazine (MgPcN4(−2)), zinc-3,4-pyridinoporphyrazine (ZnPcN4(−2)), and zinc-3,4-pyridazinoporphyrazine (ZnPcN8(−2)). Band deconvolution calculations, which couple both the absorption and the MCD spectra, are reported for each complex. The presence of the peripherally fused pyridine rings in MgPN4(−2) and ZnPcN4(−2) reduces the molecular symmetry and splits the degenerate Q band into its x and y components with zero field splitting parameters (ΔQxy) of 224 and 279 cm−1, respectively. Band fitting results for ZnPcN8(−2) show that with the fused pyridazine rings the degeneracy in the 1Eg excited state is retained and the MCD envelope in the region of the Q00 transition can be described by an MCD A term. Comparison of the fitted band energies with the results reported for ZnPc(−2) (T. Nyokong, Z. Gasyna, and M.J. Stillman. Inorg. Chem. 26, 1087 (1987)) and MgPc(−2) (E.A. Ough, T. Nyokong, K.A.M. Creber, and M.J. Stillman. Inorg. Chem. 27, 2725 (1988)) shows that as the number of nitrogens substituted increases from 0 to 8, the Q band blue shifts from 671 nm in ZnPc(−2) to 664 nm in ZnPcN4(−2) (midpoint between the x and y components) to 654 nm in ZnPcN8(−2) and from 672 nm in MgPc(−2) to 666 nm in MgPcN4(−2) (midpoint). These results demonstrate that chemical modification (symmetric and asymmetric) of the peripherally fused benzene rings influences both the energy and the symmetry of the states that form the inner 18-π-electron system.
