(a) Geometry of the NiTPP(Pip)2 molecule. (b) Geometry of the NiTPP molecule. (c) XANES spectra of NiTPP in piperidine and NiOEP in pyridine. The ground states of NiTPP in piperidine and NiOEP in pyridine show sixfold and fourfold coordination, respectively. In the NiTPP spectra the intensity of the pre-edge peak indicated by the arrow increases and the main-edge structure from 8345 to 8355 eV changes after the excitation. This is a direct signature of the photodissociation in NiTPP from the T0 to S0 state. |
