Semi-empirical CNDO/2 MO calculations are reported for the ground states of porphyrin, 2,4-divinylporphyrin (DVP), and alpha, beta, gamma, delta-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP). Results for TPP refer to the conformation with all phenyl groups perpendicular to the porphyrin ring, calculated to be 108 kJ m

โฆ Synopsis
CNDO/2 calculations are reported for dilithium and disodium porphyrin. The total energy is calculated as a function of the metal-ring distance for symmetrical (D4h) structures. For dilithium porphyrin, the equilibrium metal-ring distance is 0.87 A and the metal-metal vibrational frequency is 123 cm-1. For disodium porphyrin, the distance is 1.64 A and the frequency is 77 cm -1. Little mixing of metal and porphyrin orbitals takes place; the two lowest unoccupied and the two highest occupied MOs hardly differ from those in porphyrin, but lower MOs are considerably rearranged.
