ability of density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent
DFT (TDDFT) methods for the accurate prediction of the energies and
oscillator strengths of the excited states in a series of fully conjugated
meso–meso β–β β–β triple-linked
porphyrin oligomers (porphyrin tapes 2–12) was probed in the gas phase and solution using several exchange-correlation
functionals. It was demonstrated that the use of the hybrid B3LYP
functional provides a good compromise for the accurate prediction
of the localized π–π* and intramolecular charge-transfer
transitions, thus allowing confident interpretation of the UV–vis–NIR
spectra of porphyrin oligomers. The TDDFT-based sum-over-state (SOS)
calculations for the porphyrin tape dimer 2 and trimer 3 as well as parent monomer 1 correctly predicted
the signs and shapes of the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) signals
in the low-energy region of the spectra.
