Notes:
Ab initio LCAO SCF MO calculations are carried out on planar Co-porphine with a basis set of roughly double zeta quality for Co and N and of single zeta quality for C and H. The net charge on Co and N and the overlap population between them are 1.78, -0.57, and 0.06, respectively, in the 2A1g, state, which is known to be the ground state by experiment. The bonding in this complex is thus largely ionic. The first and second calculated ionization potentials are 6.51 and 6.77 eV, respectively, and are in reasonable agreement with the observed ionization potentials of 6.44 and 6.62 eV for Ni-tetraphenylporphine. CI calculations within the framework of the ligand field theory are also performed. The calculated order of the five lowest states is 4B2g ≈ 4Eg, 4A2g, 2A1g, 4Eg from below and is not in agreement with the semiempirical order of 2A1g ≈ 4B2G, 4A2g, 2Eg, 4Eg determined by Lin.
