Excited State Distortions Determined by Electronic and R a m a n Spectroscopy Jeffrey I. Zink, Lee Tutt, and Y. Y. Yang Department of Chemistry, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90024 The geometry changes which transition metal complexes undergo when excited electronic states are populated are determined by using a combination of electronic emission and absorption spectroscopy, pre-resonance Raman spectroscopy, excited state Raman spectroscopy, and time-dependent theory of molecular spectroscopy. Bond length changes in the lowest d-d excited states of W(CO)pyridine and W(CO) piperidine are calculated. The results are consistent with the predictions of the ligand field theory and with the observed photochemical reactions. Bond bending distortions are observed in metal-nitrosyl compounds. The photochemical reactions of Co(CO)NO and the photohydrogenation catalyzed by Rh(PPh)3NO provide indirect support for the bending. Excited state Raman spectroscopy of Fe(CN)5NO provides direct support for the bending distortion. 5

The geometry changes which a molecule undergoes when it is electronically excited are important in determining its spectroscopic and photochemical properties. These geometrical distortions can include changes in both the metal-ligand bond lengths and bond angles. Changes in the formal charges may result from these distortions. A simple type of distortion is metal-ligand bond lengthening along one totally symmetric normal coordinate. In a highly symmetrical complex containing a small number of atoms (e.g. PtClij "), there is only one totally symmetric normal mode and the electronic spectrum shows a well defined vibronic progression in that one mode. The distortion can be readily determined by using standard Franck-Condon theory (V). Multiple distortions along more than one totally symmetric normal mode are common in complexes containing many atoms. These distortions are symmetry preserving. The point group of the molecule is the same in both the ground and the distorted excited states. The problem which frequently arises with large molecules in condensed media is that vibronic structure, when 2

Electronic and Raman Spectroscopy: Excited States Disto 1

The new peak which grows in at 1835 cm" is assigned to the NO stretch in the excited state molecule. Its energy is reduced by 105 cm" from that of the NO stretch in the electronic ground State. The lower frequency is expected for the bent nitrosyl where the formal bond order is reduced from three to two. The decrease is similar in magnitude to that observed in RuCl(N0)2(PPh3)2 where both a linear and a bent nitrosyl is observed (24). Two correlations between the observed low frequency excited state modes and the corresponding ground state modes are given in the table (25). The first is a one-to-one correlation with the totally symmetric metal-ligand stretches. In this interpretation, all of the metal-ligand stretching frequencies increase in the excited state. The magnitudes of the increases are larger than those expected for a one-electron oxidation. For example, in a series of Fe(CN)5X" complexes, the changes in the M-C stretching frequencies are less than 30 cm" when the iron is oxidized from Fe(II) to Fe(III) (26). The large observed excited state frequencies are consistent with the large increase in metal formal charge expected in the excited state. The second correlation associates the 716 cm" excited state band with an Fe-NO bending mode and the 548 cm" band with the Fe-N stretching mode as given on the right of the table. This correlation is consistent with the trends observed for these modes in ground state cobalt complexes containing linear and bent NO geometries (27). The 501 cm" mode is correlated with an Fe-C stretch which is increased in frequency by about 40 cm" . These changes, together with the decrease in the NO stretching frequency, are consistent with a linear to bent FeNO geometry change and a concomitant large increase in the positive charge on the metal.
