title: Parent Anions of Iron, Manganese, and Nickel Tetraphenyl Porphyrins: Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Computations.
abstract: The singly charged, parent anions of three transition metal, tetraphenyl porphyrins, M(TPP) [Fe(TPP), Mn(TPP), and Ni(TPP)], were studied by negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy. The observed (vertical) transitions from the ground state anions of these porphyrins to the various electronic states of their neutral counterparts were modeled by density functional theory computations. Our experimental and theoretical results were in good agreement.
