other band stays at the same wavelength or even shows a blue shift of 18 nm for Ni(II)-53.<br />

That behavior is in good agreement with GOUTERMAN’s theories stating that more<br />

electropositive metal centers cause a more pronounced red shift of the spectrum. Also the<br />

observed extinction coefficients go in line with theory as the ε values for the Q-band of<br />

lowest energy increase with lowered EN. 47,48a Exact values are gathered in Table 9.<br />

Fluorescence measurements were performed within the group of our cooperators (AG<br />

RÖDER, Berlin) under the same conditions as for free base 53. The data show very low<br />

fluorescence quantum yields for Zn(II)-53 and In(III)-53 while Ni(II)-53 and Cu(II)-53 are non-<br />

fluorescent. An explanation therefore can again be found by following GOUTERMAN’s<br />

findings. 47,107c As both zinc(II), [Ar] 3d 10 , and indium(III), [Kr] 4d 10 , represent closed shell ions,<br />

they should behave like regular porphyrins being fluorescent while copper(II), [Ar] 3d 9 , and<br />

nickel(II), [Ar] 3d 8 , exhibit additionally appearing singlet and triplet states leading to an
