This work presents complete vibrational analysis of a chloride complex of Ni(II) 4,12-ditolyl-16,24-diphenyl-3-thiaporphyrin (SDTDPPNi(II)Cl) and its isotopic derivatives ( 61 Ni(II), -d 6 , and -d 10 ). Five-coordinate SDTDPPNi(II)Cl, SDTDPP 61 Ni(II)Cl, (SDTDPP-d 6 )Ni(II)Cl, and (SDTDPP-d 10 )Ni(II)Cl were investigated by Fourier-Transform infrared (FT-IR), resonance Raman (RR), and electronic absorption (UV-vis) methods. Because the methyl groups of tolyl rings at the para-position have negligible influence on geometry and vibrational spectra of SDTDPPNi(II)Cl, they can be treated as point groups. Thus, geometry optimization and vibrational frequencies were calculated for the 4,12,16,24-tetraphenyl-3-thiaporphyrin (STPPNi(II)Cl) model molecule and its isotopically labeled analogs using Gaussian'03. Moreover, charge distributions (General Atomic Polar Tensor -GAPT) and geometrical aromaticity indexes (Bird's I 5 and Harmonic Oscillator Model of Aromaticity -HOMA) were calculated. All theoretical calculations were performed at the B3LYP level with the LANL2DZ basis set. As is shown, the experimental FT-IR and RR spectra for each compound are reproduced well by the corresponding theoretical spectra.
