Spectral Investigations of Fullerene-Porphyrin Complexes

Spectral investigations of someμ-oxo-dimer complexes of trivalent metals (Mn, Fe) with two different ligands: tetraphenylporphyrin and tetranaphthylporphyrin (TNP), and fullerene ($C_{60}$ and $C_{70}$) complexes withμ-oxobis[5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrinatometal (III)] $(TXP-M)_2O$ dimer, where M = Fe, Mn and X = phenyl or naphthyl, are presented. Discussion of the main electronic and vibrational bands observed in the UV-Vis-IR and Raman spectra of both classes of fullerene-porphyrin systems is given. Experimental data are completed with the quantum chemical calculations of $MnTNP^+$ component.
