The geometrical and electronic structures of iron and cobalt metal complexes of porphyrazine and tetra(1,2,5-thiadiazole)porphyrazine in ground and low-lying excited electronic states were determined by DFT calculations and the complete active space (CASSCF) method with following accounting dynamic correlation by multiconfigurational quasidegenerate second-order perturbation theory (MCQDPT2). A geometrical structure of D[Formula: see text] symmetry has been obtained for all four complexes. According to data obtained by the MCQDPT2 method, the complexes of cobalt and iron possess the ground states 2A[Formula: see text] and 3A[Formula: see text], respectively, and wave functions of the ground states have the form of a single determinant. It is shown that the crystal field theory (CFT) can be used to describe the sequence of electronic states of the investigated complexes. The nature of the bonds between metal atoms and nitrogen atoms has been described using the analysis of the electron density distribution in the frame of Bader’s quantum theory of atoms in molecule (QTAIM).

Electronic and geometric structures of Y, La and Lu complexes with porphyrazine (Pz) and tetrakis(1,2,5-thiadiazole)porphyrazine (TTDPz) were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and compared. The nature of the bonds between metal atoms and nitrogen atoms has been described using the analysis of the electron density distribution in the frame of Bader&rsquo, s quantum theory of atoms in molecule (QTAIM). Simulation and interpretation of electronic spectra were performed with use of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. Description of calculated IR spectra was carried out based on the analysis of the distribution of the potential energy of normal vibrations by natural vibrational coordinates.

The Knudsen effusion method with mass spectrometric control of the vapor composition was used to study the possibility of a congruent transition to the gas phase and to estimate the enthalpy of sublimation of metal-free tetrakis(1,2,5-thiadiazolo)porphyrazine and its nickel complex (H2TTDPz and NiTTDPz, respectively). The geometrical and electronic structure of H2TTDPz and NiTTDPz in ground and low-lying excited electronic states were determined by DFT calculations. The electronic structure of NiTTDPz was studied by the complete active space (CASSCF) method, following accounting dynamic correlation by multiconfigurational quasi-degenerate second-order perturbation theory (MCQDPT2). A geometrical structure of D2h and D4h symmetry was obtained for H2TTDPz and NiTTDPz, respectively. According to data obtained by the MCQDPT2 method, the nickel complex possesses the ground state 1A1g, and the wave function of the ground state has the form of a single determinant. Electronic absorption and vibrational (IR and resonance Raman) spectra of H2TTDPz and NiTTDPz were studied experimentally and simulated theoretically.

Electronic and geometric structures of Ca(II) and Zn(II) complexes with porphyrazine (Pz) and tetrakis(1,2,5-thiadiazole)porphyrazine (TTDPz) were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and compared. The perimeter of the coordination cavity was found to be practically independent on the nature of a metal and a ligand. According to the results of the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) calculations, Ca&ndash, N bonds possess larger ionic contributions as compared to Zn&ndash, N. The model electronic absorption spectra obtained with the use of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations indicate a strong bathochromic shift (~70 nm) of the Q-band with a change of Pz ligand by TTDPz for both Ca and Zn complexes. Additionally, CaTTDPz was synthesized and its electronic absorption spectrum was recorded in pyridine and acetone.
