3.2.3.1 IR & UV/Vis Spectroscopy<br />
In the IR spectrum the characteristic carbonyl vibration is found at 1683 cm -1 being in the<br />
typical region for α,β-unsaturated or aromatic ketones. 46 This shows that the carbonyl group<br />
is indeed in conjugation with the porphyrin’s π-system and therewith lying more or less in<br />
the porphyrin plane fitting well with the assumed geometry. Other vibrations of the<br />
porphyrin appear nearly unaffected compared to the basic systems.<br />
As expected, the UV/Vis spectrum shows up quite different from the ones of the purple<br />
precursor systems since the obtained product is of olive-green color. To illustrate the<br />
difference, in Figure 15, the spectrum of 53 is opposed to the one of 51 being the direct non-<br />
annulated free base precursor. The exact values for the observed wavelengths and the<br />
corresponding extinction coefficients are given in Table 5.<br />

Apparently, the annulation causes a huge bathochromic shift of all bands, whereby the SORET<br />
band is less shifted (∼22 nm) than the Q-bands (up to 42 nm). Concerning the extinction<br />
