Title: Normal-Coordinate Structural Decomposition and the Vibronic Spectra of Porphyrins

Abstract

The connection is made between the normal-coordinate structural decomposition (NSD) and the vibronic molecular states and spectra of porphyrins. NSD is a procedure that provides a description of the distortion of a porphyrin from a D{sub 4h} symmetric reference structure in terms of equivalent displacements along the normal coordinates. Expressions for the optical absorption spectra with vibrational structure are developed with these NSD-determined deformations as parameters, and the expressions are applied to the UV-visible absorption spectra porphyrins.
