Abstract: The tetra-(p-nitrophenyl) porphyrin and its Mn(Ⅲ), Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) complexes and six manganese porphyrin complexes were investigated by XPS.π→π transition energy and shift of binding energies of N1s and Mn2p3/2 show that these metallic compounds are porphyrin metal complexes formed by the mosaic of metal atom into the π-electron system of the macrocycle structure of the prophyrins.The experimental results show that the binding energies of Mn2p3/2 of different kinds of manganese porphyrin complexes descend as the electronegativity of substituents on porphyrin ring decreases.The XPSdata of different manganese porphyrin complexes may be used to infer the structures of the substituents of the complexes.
