This page summarizes the optical absorption and emission data of Zinc tetramesitylporphyrin radical cation that
is available in the PhotochemCAD
package, version 2.1a (Du 1998, Dixon 2005). I reworked their data to
produce these interactive graphs and to provide direct links to text files
containing the raw and manipulated data. Although I have tried to be careful, I
may have introduced some errors; the cautious user is advised to compare these
results with the original sources.
You can resize any of the graphs by clicking and dragging a rectangle. If you hover the mouse over the graph, you will see a pop-up showing the coordinates. One of the icons in the upper right corner will let you export the graph in other formats.
Absorption
This optical absorption measurement of Zinc tetramesitylporphyrin radical cation were made by R. W. Wagner on 12-11-1997 using a Cary 3. The absorption values were collected using a spectral bandwidth of 1.0 nm, a signal averaging time of 0.133 sec, a data interval of 0.25 nm, and a scan rate of 112.5 nm/min.
These measurements were scaled to make the molar extinction coefficient match the value of 190,000cm-1/M at 408.5nm (Fajer, 1970).

Notes
The spectra of ZnTMP+ and ZnTPP+ are nearly identical. We have used the extinction coefficient of ZnTPP+ (Fajer, 1970). A fluorescence spectrum was not recorded due to the very low emission of this paramagnetic compound.References
